Most treatment should be done prior to loading the patient onto the helicopter in order to minimize the time spent in flight and to ensure the patient's stability. Helicopter transport can be quite expensive and patient care can be affected by the noise, vibration, and pressure changes during the flight. Equipment such as PASG and ET tubes can be affected by pressure changes and need to be properly managed during transport.
