RESUMO
The aeromedical transportation (AMT) of critically ill cardiac patients can enable access to advanced specialized medical attention, or provide improved care for operational, psychosocial, political, or economic reasons. However, AMT is a complex undertaking necessitating extensive clinical, operational, administrative, and logistical planning to ensure that the patient receives an equivalent level of critical care monitoring and management in the air as on the ground. This paper is the second of a 2-part series. Part 1 focused on the preflight planning and preparation for critically ill cardiac patients during AMT aboard commercial platforms, while this current part aims to provide an overview of in-flight considerations for the same population.
