description The aeromedical transportation services demand increasingly skilled and specialized professionals, especially trained and experienced nurses to assist severe patients. Recognizing the profile of patients removed by aeromedical transportation can help the nurse on knowledge about the technologies used and to perform a specialized assistance. It is a retrospective, described, transversal and quantitative study, regarding the services performed in a private aeromedical transportation service. The methodology used was the data collection regarding service sheets, performed between 2006 and 2009, containing the following variants: transportation request regimen; reason for transportation request; type of aircraft used; patients' gender and age; worsening etiology; aero-removed patient's destination city and destination hospitals' characteristics. 125 services were identified, whose main customer base were male (65.6%) and elderly (60%) patients. The clinical etiology worsening were the ones occurring in larger amount (70.4%). In the study, the private request is predominant (70.4%) and the main reason for request is the inter-hospital transference or to a more complex hospital (86.4%). The flights were carried out, in a larger amount, in fixed-wing aircrafts (69.6%). São Paulo was the flights' main destination city (84%) and the private hospitals received most aero-removed patients (81.6%). The study demonstrated that the patient served in a private aeromedical transportation service presents a very unique profile, though representative, in comparison with our country's morbidity-mortality standard.

Os serviços de transporte aeromédico exigem cada vez mais profissionais qualificados e especializados, em especial enfermeiros treinados e experientes na assistência a pacientes graves. Reconhecer o perfil dos pacientes aerorremovidos pode auxiliar o enfermeiro no conhecimento das tecnologias utilizadas e a realizar uma assistência especializada. Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo, descrito, transversal e quantitativo, a respeito dos atendimentos realizados em um serviço de transporte aeromédico privado. A metodologia utilizada foi a coleta de dados referentes a fichas de atendimentos, realizados entre os anos de 2006 e 2009, contendo as seguintes variáveis: regime da solicitação do transporte; motivo da solicitação de transporte; tipo de aeronave utilizada; sexo e idade dos pacientes; etiologia do agravo; cidade de destino do paciente aerorremovido e características dos hospitais de destino. Foram identificados 125 atendimentos, cuja principal clientela foi os pacientes do sexo masculino (65,6%) e os idosos (60%). Os agravos de etiologia clínica foram os que ocorreram em maior número (70,4%). No estudo, é predominante a solicitação particular (70,4%) e o principal motivo de solicitação é a transferência inter-hospitalar ou para hospital de maior complexidade (86,4%). Os voos foram executados em maior número em aeronaves de asa fixa (69,6%). A cidade de São Paulo foi o principal destino dos vôos (84%) e os hospitais privados receberam a maioria dos pacientes aerorremovidos (81,6%). O estudo demonstrou que o paciente atendido em um serviço de transporte aeromédico privado apresenta um perfil muito próprio, porém representativo se comparado ao padrão de morbimortalidade de nosso país.
