Neonatal flight safety: northern care outreach
Background and Purpose: Neonatal aeromedical transport is inherently dangerous, (Bouchut, Lancker, Chritin, & Gueugniaud, 2011; Schierholz, 2010), but for Nunavut, Canada, serviced by Keewatin Air, this is the only option to accessing specialized care (McKenzie, 2015). The purpose of this practi...
