Testing the Emergency Evacuation Hyperbaric Stretcher for Fit in Small Military and Civilian Helicopters

Un anticipated airframe limitations may impede the timely evacuation of a diving casualty to advanced care. These find-ings highlight the importance of planning for the use of the EEHS including careful consideration of the potential aircraft platforms available. Further research is recommended to assess newer EEHS models and to improve aircrew and clinician fa-miliarity with EEHS transportation requirements.
