Which patient care record is primarily used for Critical Care Air Transport Team movements?

The DA 4700 Tactical Evacuation Patient Care Record is specifically designed for use during the movement of patients by air, particularly in critical care settings. This record serves to document the patient’s medical history, current condition, and specific interventions required during transport. It provides critical information that allows medical personnel and air transport teams to maintain continuity of care, monitor patient status, and ensure that all necessary medical information is available throughout the evacuation process.

In contrast, the other options serve different purposes. The DD Form 1380 Tactical Combat Casualty Care Card is primarily used in combat situations to record immediate care provided to casualties on the battlefield, focusing on urgent needs rather than ongoing critical care transport. The Medical Rescue Report SAR Form 3-50.1A is used for search and rescue operations, documenting the circumstances and actions taken during such missions, which is not specifically tailored for patient care during air transport. The AF IMT 3899 Patient Movement Record is used for documenting patient movements as well but is more general in its application and may not include the critical care specifics that the DA 4700 addresses.

Therefore, the DA 4700 is the most appropriate and specialized record for documenting the care and transport of patients in critical care air transport scenarios
