Abstract

The mission of aeromedical evacuation of patients, whether in peacetime, wartime or under unexpected conditions (earthquake, flood etc) will remain the same. Aeromedical evacuation systems have become an integral part of the practice of critical care medicine. These systems provide interhospital transport of critically ill or severely injured patients. Understanding the medical aspects of flights and the capabilities of the aeromedical environment will help to evacuate patients in a safe and a proper manner.

Özet

Hava yolu ile hasta/yaralı taşınması savaş-barış döneminde ve tabiat olayları (deprem, sel baskınları v.b.) sonrası aynı temel hedefi olan bir görevdir. Günümüzde hava yolu ile taşıma sistemleri acil hasta bakımının bir parçası olmuştur. Bu sistemler hasta/yaralıların hastaneler arasında güvenli olarak taşınmasını sağlamaktadır. Hava yolu ile taşımanın ana öğelerini anlamak, taşıma sırasında yüksek irtifanın yaratmış olduğu fizyolojik değişikliklerin hasta üzerindeki etkilerini kavramak, hasta/yaralı taşımasının daha güvenli ve uygun olmasını sağlayacaktır.
