Abstract:
Air medical transport is an important component of contemporary prehospital care for patients with time-sensitive conditions and those whose clinical needs exceed the expertise of local providers. Early contact with trained flight dispatchers facilitates air transport. Appropriate stabilization, effective communication, and transfer of medical documents ensure that transports are appropriate, timely, and safe.
