This article aims to discuss the feasibility and options for appropriate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques to be used during flight in the rotary-wing aircraft of the Military Police Aerial Operations Battalion of Paraná (BPMOA). The promptness of pre-hospital care significantly influences the survival of a victim. It is important for medical teams to be prepared to perform emergency interventions in any environment, including aircraft. The research conducted to support this article involved searching for scientific articles in specialized sources. The BPMOA utilizes three EC 130 B4 helicopters for aeromedical service. Performing CPR in a helicopter presents some challenges, such as limited space, environmental instability, and interference from noise and vibrations. Studies using mannequins have demonstrated the effective outcomes of chest compressions in helicopters, indicating that the quality of chest compressions can be affected by factors such as patient positioning, rescuer height, and compression rate. When describing the use of mechanical CPR (mCPR) during helicopter transport, mechanical chest compression devices can provide high-quality CPR safely and for extended transport durations. The rapid implementation of defibrillation, including the immediate use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) by emergency professionals and individuals with adequate training, has resulted in a significant increase in survival rates in cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
