There are 8 different stressors of flight that you as a Flight Paramedic or Flight Nurse must be familiar with.  In this episode of the podcast, I discuss the most important of these flight stressors: hypoxia.

I discuss the 4 different types of hypoxia and the most common causes of each.  I also share with you the three guidelines that regulate when we, as air medical professionals, must utilize oxygen ourselves during transport.
