I'm sure this is going to light a fire under someone's tail,
but I just had to respond. I
find it interesting that "most training can take place in 2 or
3 days". Most flight programs require so many years of ER/ICU type training for
flight members. Being an OB flight member, I flinch at the idea that some people
feel so comfortable transporting OB's highest risk patients with so little
training, especially when 2 patients are involved (mom and fetus, or more).
Knowing from my experience that the OB specialty seems to subscribe to Murphy's
law, I feel these patients deserve to be flown by people with much experience in
the field; preferably those with both neonatal and HROB experience.
Please reconsider using OB team members on your flights, these
patients deserve better. I disagree that this experience could or should be
replaced by a 2 day course. Imagine how you would shudder if someone suggested a
2 day course in ER or ICU!!!
Bracing myself for the responses.....eek.
