| Abstract: | Objective: To report on the experience of developing a care protocol for pediatric patients fixation for the transflight in rotary-wing aircrafts. Method: Professional experience report. The protocol was developed within the aeromedical urgency and emergency service of Santa Catarina, guided by the Guide for the Construction of Care Protocols of Coren/São Paulo. The theoretical framework was based on an integrative review and consultation of documents from national and international official agencies, as well as the Brazilian Federal Nursing Council. Internal validation was carried out with eight flight nurses from the service. Results: The protocol structured the care for securing the pediatric patient into three care phases: preflight, transflight, and postflight, supporting clinical decision-making and safety during transport. Conclusion: The developed protocol standardized the practices for pediatric patients fixation in aeromedical services, promoting safety and supporting clinical decision-making during transflight, minimizing the risk of complications during transport, and strengthening professional practice in the field of aeromedical services. |
