Lab results are often handed off during transport like hot potatoes—hurried, half-explained, and easily overlooked. But the right lab value, in the right hands, can change the entire trajectory of patient care. This fast-paced, high-yield session is designed for flight medics, nurses, and critical care transport teams who want to sharpen their interpretation skills and stop flying blind. No one wants that.
We’ll break down the lab values that actually matter in transport—those that indicate deterioration, demand intervention, or signal “do not pass go” moments. From lactate levels that scream shock to troponins that change destinations to ABGs that hide silent killers—this session is about making sense of the numbers in real time. You’ll walk away with practical frameworks, transport-specific insights, and a renewed respect for the power of a “dirty” lab to lead to a clean save.
No fluff. No filler. Just labs that matter when the clock is ticking.
Learning Objectives:
Interpret high-yield laboratory values commonly encountered during critical care transport
Differentiate between normal, critical, and transport-altering lab results in time-sensitive situations
Apply lab data to formulate or modify patient management strategies in the air medical environment
