N2  - This case illustrates the hazards of helicopter transport of trauma patients exposed to agrichemicals. Agrichemical exposure risks to the flight team through dermal and inhalational routes should be considered. Chemical exposure may affect pilot navigational performance as well as patient monitoring by the flight nurse. The importance of decontaminating the patient utilizing the resources of the local fire department should be emphasized. If flight safety is considered dangerous, ground transportation should be substituted.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
