After the appearance of the COVID-19 pandemic in France, MEROPE system was created to transform the military tactical ATLAS A400M aircraft into a flying intensive care unit. Collective aeromedical evacuations (aero-MEDEVAC) of patients suffering from SARS-CoV-2-related acute respiratory distress syndrome was performed from June to December 2020. A total of 22 patients were transported during seven missions. All aero-MEDEVAC was performed in safe conditions for patients and crew. No life-threatening conditions occurred during flight. Biohazard controls were applied according to French guidelines and prevented crew contamination. Thanks to rigorous selection criteria and continuous in-flight medical care, the safe transportation of these patients was possible. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of collective aero-MEDEVAC of these kinds of patients using a tactical military aircraft. We here describe the patient’s characteristics and the flight’s challenges.

It is a descriptive study with quantitative approach that analyzed 151 medical records of patients admitted to an ICU, from September 2014 to February 2015, whose 48 hour and discharge notes were evaluated. Data revealed notes with poor content, which did not express the patients’ situation, nor the nursing care provided. Data concerning date, time, and patient identification were adequate. However, the COREN number and the professional’s signature raised concern given the high percentage of non-compliance regarding ethical and legal aspects. Nursing notes did not reflect the severity of patients, nor the dynamics in the ICUDescriptors: Adolescent, Nursing, HospitalizationADOLESCENTE EN PERSPECTIVA DE LOS PROFESIONALES DE ENFERMERÍAComprender la óptico del profesional de enfermería de hospitalización de los adolescentes.

The aim of this study was to analyze the causal factors of pleasure and suffering in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nursing staff and to compare the occurrence of these factors at the beginning and end of the career. This was a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted with 26 nurses and 96 nursing technicians. The previously validated Pleasure and Suffering Scale was used. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics with the SPSS 12.0 software and the Kruskal Wallis test was used to assess the presence of these factors at the beginning and end of the career. The results indicated that, for both the nurses and the nursing technicians, the factors that contribute to feelings of pleasure, professional achievement and freedom of expression, and the factors that cause suffering, professional exhaustion and lack of recognition, were encountered at critical levels.
