    Area of Science:

    • Aviation Medicine
    • Infectious Disease Control
    • Biosecurity

    Background:

    • Development of the Containment Aircraft Transit Isolator (CATI) for secure aeromedical evacuation.
    • Need for specialized equipment to manage patients with highly virulent diseases during air transport.

    Observation:

    • The CATI was successfully utilized in a simulated trans-Atlantic aeromedical evacuation using a Canadian Forces Boeing 707.
    • Flight testing, nursing care, treatment protocols, and decontamination procedures were evaluated during the exercise.

    Findings:

    • The CATI ensures maximum microbiological security while allowing for comprehensive patient care during flight.
    • Training of flight medical personnel in the use of the isolator was a key component of the evaluation.
