In the context of the COVID pandemic, the hospitalization capacity of infected
patients in Reunion Island remains limited and requires reflection on the
possible alternatives. ?Mass? medical evacuations (EVASANs) on long-haul
commercial flights could be an interesting solution. This type of operation is
however complex to implement. An organization in the Air Austral airplanes
(Boeing 737, 777 and 787) has been thought, making it possible to provide care
and allow movement in the aircraft by defining areas of low viral density and
high viral density. A patient management model was carried out with planning of
the human and material resources necessary for the transfer of several ?valid?
COVID patients and in stretcher. This organization was then deployed during an
EVASAN of four patients from Mayotte to Reunion Island. Mass air evacuations of
patients infected with the Coronavirus appear to be a solution to the congestion
of conventional hospitalization and resuscitation services for ultra-marine
territories. The experiment carried out on a Mayotte-Reunion Island flight proved
to be encouraging.
