abstract:A flight nurse is traditionally a specialty where highly trained registered nurses provide comprehensive prehospital, emergency, and critical care to all types of patients during aeromedical evacuation or rescue operations aboard helicopter and propeller aircraft or jet aircraft. Flight nurses are paired with flight medics, respiratory practitioners, and/or flight physicians as a comprehensive emergency and critical transport team; especially in pediatric and neonatal transport teams,.
Officials at Integris-Baptist Medical Center, where the helicopter was based, identified those killed as pilot Mark Montgomery and flightnurse Chris Denning.
