136: Bridging the Gap Between Pre-Hospital and In-Hospital Patient Care with Flight Medic, Sam


Listen Later

The flight team may be on the way, but your work isn’t done yet. Flight medic Sam, host of the Nine One One Nonsense podcast, shares what the ideal patient handoff looks like between hospital staff and flight crews, and why those final moments at the bedside matter more than you think. You’ll hear real-life examples of where in-hospital care teams often go wrong and how you can help create a safer, smoother transfer.

Sam also shares what it’s really like to be part of a flight crew — the challenges, team dynamics, and common misconceptions that affect patient care. No matter your role, this episode will help nurses and flight crews understand their role and how to better work together!


Topics discussed in this episode:


  • The role of ground versus flight paramedics
  • Gaps between pre-hospital care and in-hospital care
  • Common handoff mistakes (and how to avoid them)
  • Misconceptions about flight transfers and patient care
  • Why sedation matters before takeoff
  • Managing medications and supplies in-flight
  • How bedside nurses can better support flight teams
  • The importance of team dynamics in flight medicine
  • Advice for future flight medics and nurses
