The prone position during helicopter transport of critically ill patients: A case series from North Norway

The authors aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of transporting intubated patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in the prone position via helicopter in North Norway. Their observational case series of six patients indicated that, despite the inherent risks, prone helicopter transport can be successfully executed with careful preparation and experienced medical teams, as evidenced by improvements in oxygenation and survival rates among the patients transported.
