Medics as well as RN's are (and do) at Medflight (Yellowknife). Assuming that you mean determining the fetal lie by the use of traditional handheld doppler in conjunction with 'Leopoulds' style hands-on assessment. We do about 1000 flights a year (6.5 hr average length, fixed wing) and about 55% are primary transports (scene calls). Roughly 35% of all of our flights in total are high risk perinatal/neonatal/pede patients - with perinatal about 2/3rds of those. Only about 2/5 of our perinatal trips are interfacility. Average out over 4 crews and you do about 35 perinatal scene responses a year each. Fly Safe.
