Air Transfer of Patients with Lobectomy

[Mabe, Tiffany]

None that I am aware of. We transfer pts of this nature frequently, and I have never had any issues.
Thanks,

Hi list,

Is anyone aware of a guideline specified for air transport of patients with
lobectomy? Is it an absolute contraindication? What do I need to pay
attention to when transferring patients with one-sided lobectomy at max
altitude of 7,000 ft in EC 135/145s.?


Thanks for your input,
