RESUMO
Airway management and maintenance of adequate ventilation during a patient's unattended helicopter rescue hoist extraction present unique challenges to the air medical provider. We present the case of a critically injured patient requiring emergent airway management and subsequent extrication via hoist from challenging, near-vertical terrain, which illustrates the logistical challenges of providing high-quality, neuroprotective mechanical ventilation in an austere air medical scenario.
