. Likewise rapid decompression of a fixedwing aircraft cabin will also result in cold air entering the cabin. If sealevel temperature is 15°C on a sunny winter’s day, it will be 0°C in an unheated helicopter at 8000 feet. At night the temperature will be well below freezing without heating. Dress well. Humidity. Humidity is a particular concern in fixed-wing operations because cabin air is taken from the ambient atmosphere, even in pressurized aircrafts. When warmed, this air may contain very little humidity. This lack of humidity may lead to the drying of the patient's secretions and discomfort during flight.

For this reason, proper positioning of the patient to limit stresses induced by sustained acceleration should be accomplished.

John Dalton FRS (6 September 1766 – 27 July 1844) was an Eng lish ch emist , m eteorol ogist and physicist . H e is best known fo r his pio neering work in the development of modern atomic theory , and his research into co lour blindnes s (sometimes referred to as Daltonism , in his honour) . The atmosphere contains 21% oxygen, and this fraction is constant at all altitudes. As total pressure decreases with higher altitudes, however, the partial pressure of oxygen decreases proportionally (Dalton's law). In medical terms, the fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) of cabin air remains constant as cabin altitude increases, but the alveolar partial pressure of oxygen declines

FW They cruise at altitudes between 15000 and 25000 feet, but pressurise the cabin to around 4000 feet (sealevel is possible on request). Helo They are unpressurised and cruise at altitudes generally between 2000-4000feet, maximum around 8000 feet. The first 305 m (1000 ft) of ascent represent the region of greatest change per vertical 0.305 m (1 ft). The steepest pressure gradients and greatest physiological effects are experienced when climbing through the lowest levels of the atmosphere.

gas trapped in the thorax, pericardium, bowel, eye, or skull unless these conditions are specifically addressed. Gas expansion in an endotracheal tube cuff increases pressure on the tracheal mucosa, so air should be replaced with sterile saline or cuff pressure should be monitored and adjusted frequently during the transport.
Ventilators were assessed using either air-mix (60% oxygen) or 100% oxygen and tested against models simulating a normal lung, a low compliance (Acute Respiratory Distress S yndrome) lung and a high-resistance (asthma) lung. Ventilators were tested at a range of simulated altitudes between sea level and 3048 m. Over this range, tidal volume delivered by the Oxylog 1000 increased by 68% and respiratory rate decreased by 28%. Tidal volume delivered by the Oxylog 2000 ventilator increased by 29% over the same range of altitudes but there was no significant change in respiratory rate. Tidal volume and respiratory rate remained constant with the Oxylog 3000 over the same range of altitudes. Changes were consistent with each ventilator regardless of oxygen content or lung model.
Gas consumption for internal control 0.1 to 0.5 L/min Without BTPS (body tempreature pressure saturated)correction, the delivered inspiratory volume can deviate up to 14% (at 14,800 ft/4,500 m altitude) from the targeted set volume (i.e. 570 ml instead of 500 ml). – Without ambient pressure correction, the inspiratory volume can deviate up to 44% (at 14,800 ft/4,500 m altitude) from the targeted set volume (i.e. 720 ml instead of 500 ml). In volume controlled ventilation modes, the Oxylog 3000 auto- matically corrects it volumetr ic flow rate for changes in ambient pressure due to changing altitudes. As a result the volume delivered to the patient is kept at a constant level, independent of the altitude. The correction is based on the assumption that the temperature of the breathing gas delivered by the Oxylog (the inspiratory gas) is 21.1 °C/70 °F dry and that the temperature of the breathing gas inside the human lungs will be 37 °C/99 °F fully saturated. IfyousetaVtof500mlatsealevel,the Oxylog 3000 will deliver 447 ml as this volume will expand to 500 ml in the patients lungs. Formula: Vt of 500 ml x (294 Kelvin/ 310 Kelvin1) x (1023 mbar (767 mmHg)/ 1086 mbar (815 mmHg)2) = 447 ml. (Assumption of PAW mean = 10 mbar (10 cmH2O)

Aircraft cabin altitude can be maintained near sea level, but this increases fuel consumption and limits aircraft range

passengers and crew experience instantaneous ascent (ie, no acclimatization) when their cabin loses pressurization. Initial alveolar PO2 is less than the oxygen partial pressure in the mixed venous blood; thus, oxygen diffusion in the lungs is reversed. Unless this process is halted with immediate intervention, oxygen rapidly diffuses from the body within minutes. When cabin pressurization is lost, passengers are variably exposed to bitterly cold outside temperatures of approximately -57ºC (-70ºF) at 10,667 m (35,000 ft). The flight crew should intervene immediately during rapid decompression. Once a loss of cabin pressure is detected, aircrew and able passengers should immediately don oxygen masks to reverse the diffusive loss of oxygen at the alveolar level. Simultaneously, the pilot must perform an emergency descent to less hostile altitudes. If corrective action is not taken, the effective performance time (also called time of useful consciousness) is 3-5 minutes at 7600 m (25,000 ft), 30-60 seconds at 10,700 m (35,000 ft), and 9-12 seconds at 13,100 m (43,000 ft). In people who are sick or highly active, reserves are reduced, and loss of consciousness occurs sooner.
Acceleration causes complex physiologic changes, the net effects of which are difficult to predict. Patients likely to be highly susceptible to acceleration are those with severe left ventricular failure, increased ICP, and hypovolemic shock. In the absence of specific data, it is the authors' practice to position the patient so the vector of greatest anticipated acceleration runs perpendicular to the patient's long axis. In the example of a patient with increased ICP, the patient's torso is placed as upright as possible during takeoff and landing Acceleration is a vector quantity, having both magnitude and direction. For this reason, proper positioning of the patient to limit stresses induced by sustained acceleration should be accomplished. [ 7 ] The acceleration forces experienced in helicopters during routine operations tend to be of low magnitude and approximate those observed in ground transport vehicles.

In the example of a patient with increased ICP, the patient's torso is placed as upright as possible during takeoff and landing Venous return to the heart is susceptible to G forces. As the head is usually oriented to the front of the aircraft in a fixed wing, takeoff in particular will expose any hemodynamic instability in a patient. Bradycardia, hypotension and even cardiac arrest may result. Try to ensure the patient is not hypovolemic. Helicopter takeoffs are not usually affected. Acceleration is a vector quantity, having both magnitude and direction. For this reason, proper positioning of the patient to limit stresses induced by sustained acceleration should be accomplished. [ 7 ] The acceleration forces experienced in helicopters during routine operations tend to be of low magnitude and approximate those observed in ground transport vehicles. Longitudinal acceleration on the takeoff roll, combined with nose-high pitch on climb-out, creates significant reverse Trendelenburg physiology. Venous pooling and preload reduction can be significant in those with unstable hemodynamics
Helicopter transport requires the pilot to maintain an altitude of less than 500 ft (152 m) above the departure point (which could be more than 500 ft above sea level depending on the dive location). 73 This can be difficult when there are mountains to traverse in flight.
water pressure falls with altitude and is not corrected by pressurisation dries out mucosa - all intubated patients should have at least passive humidification (HME) Unlike first-generation unipolar pacemakers, no current evidence indicates that modern pacemakers or ICDs are affected in any way with in-flight electromagnetic interference.
temp While ascending through the first 9100-18,300 m (30,000-40,000 ft), temperature decreases linearly at an average rate of 2ºC (3.6ºF) per 305 m (1000 ft). If sea-level temperature is 16ºC (60ºF), the outside air temperature is approximately -57ºC (-70ºF) at 10,700 m (35,000 ft) Likewise rapid decompression of a fixedwing aircraft cabin will also result in cold air entering the cabin. If sealevel temperature is 15°C on a sunny winter’s day, it will be 0°C in an unheated helicopter at 8000 feet. At night the temperature will be well below freezing without heating. Dress well.
