Abstract

Introduction: Aircraft use for patient transfer has improved aeromedical transport, enabling rapid access to care by overcoming distances and geographic barriers. However, it presents challenges, requiring specialized attention and evidence-based protocols to ensure continuity and prevent complications and incidents. Objective: This study aims to map existing protocols related to patient safety in inter-hospital aeromedical transport. Method: This research consists of a scoping review to be conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines. Data search will be conducted in the following databases: Medline, Lilacs, BDENF, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science. The Population, Concept, and Context (PCC) framework will be used to formulate the research question.
