 Hi Scott

Greetings from Australia

We are looking at our emergency procedures for Nitric Oxide tranasports.
Do you have any material on the accidental dumping of a full cyclinder
into a cabin.. Including the concentrations reached etc.

Cheers

Subject: nitric oxide transports help

Greetings - Hoping the group can help with the following situation - our
flight crew is an RN/ER resident crew configuration - For the past
several years, we have been transporting neonates on nitric by air &
ground with our RN/ER MD crew, but happily have had a neonatal RT
accompany us - However, we have recently been told that the RT
department is downsizing & they will no longer be able to routinely
accompany us on these NO transports - I am hoping, especially from our
transport RT colleagues, for input on this situation - Are there
standards out there that support RT's going on NO transports? 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
