    Area of Science:

    • Aeromedical Evacuation
    • Healthcare Operations
    • Quality Improvement

    Background:

    • Aeromedical evacuation (AE) is critical for patient transport.
    • The C-9A aircraft is the primary platform for AE missions within the US.
    • Ensuring efficient AE procedures is vital for optimal patient outcomes and mission success.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and implement a comprehensive retrospective evaluation program for AE.
    • To identify deviations from established AE procedures.
    • To mitigate mission delays and enhance patient care quality.

    Main Methods:

    • Established a combined retrospective evaluation program.
    • Focused on identifying, evaluating, and intervening in AE procedural deviations.
    • Utilized data from routine C-9A missions.

    Main Results:

    • The 57th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron (AES) operates approximately six daily missions.
    • Each mission involves seven to eight enroute stops.
    • Approximately 300 patients and attendants are airlifted daily.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed program aims to systematically improve AE operations.
    • Continuous evaluation and intervention are key to optimizing patient care and mission efficiency.
    • Standardized procedures are essential for reliable aeromedical evacuation.
