Abstract

Critical Care Air Transport Teams (CCATT) transport critically injured patients with acute pain. Methods such as epidural and regional anesthetics, and ketamine are used alone or in combination with parenteral opioids. Limited data has been reported about analgesic administration en route, and no study has reported analgesic use and in-flight adverse events for CCATT. Our objective was to describe analgesic use and adverse events on CCATT for non-intubated, awake, critically injured trauma patients during evacuation from a combat setting.
