Medical Crew
LifeFlight of Maine nurses and paramedics are required to have years of specialty experience in hospital critical care units. In addition to the critical care experience that each nurse or paramedic brings to the flight team, all new team members receive between 500 and 800 hours of intensive full-time orientation on a wide variety of medical and aviation disciplines from altitude physiology to crew resource management. LifeFlight critical care medical teams are afforded a scope of care and practice that allows all of the initial care in a trauma center hospital emergency department to be delivered directly at the scene.
