The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV2 emerged in December 2019 and is now pandemic.
Initial analysis suggests that 5% of infected patients will require critical
care, and that respiratory failure requiring intubation is associated with high
mortality.Sick patients are geographically dispersed: most patients will remain
in situ until they are in need of critical care. Additionally, there are likely
to be patients who require retrieval for other reasons but who are
co-incidentally infected with SARS-CoV-2 or shedding virus.The COVID-19 pandemic
therefore poses a challenge to critical care retrieval systems, which often
depend on small teams of specialists who live and work together closely. The
infection or quarantining of a small absolute number of these staff could
catastrophically compromise service delivery.Avoiding occupational exposure to
COVID-19, and thereby ensuring service continuity, is the primary objective of
aeromedical retrieval services during the pandemic. In this discussion paper we
collaborated with helicopter emergency medical services(HEMS) worldwide to
identify risks in retrieving COVID-19 patients, and develop strategies to
mitigate these.Simulation involving the whole aeromedical retrieval team ensures
that safety concerns can be addressed during the development of a standard
operating procedure. Some services tested personal protective equipment and
protocols in the aeromedical environment with simulation. We also incorporated
experiences, standard operating procedures and approaches across several HEMS
services internationally.As a result of this collaboration, we outline an
approach to the safe aeromedical retrieval of a COVID-19 patient, and describe
how this framework can be used to develop a local standard operating procedure.
