Any programs who have protocols for having RT's accompany on NO transports? Our flight RN's feel that these transports, in our instance, are low volume, but very high risk (2-3/month on average) & we are very much in need of "backup info/protocols/standards" to help us maintain what we believe to be standard of care for these patients Any help welcomed Scott DeBoer RN,MSN,CFRN Flight Nurse: UCAN Founder: Peds-R-Us scott at peds-r-us.com 866-449-7337 fax _______________________________________________ Flightmed mailing list To unsubscribe or change your email address, go to http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/flightmed ________________________________________________________________________ Email message sent from CompuServe - visit us today at http://www.cs.com
