On Sunday 31st May at 10am the Westpac Air Ambulance departed from Hamilton Airport. The team onboard was Warren McKay – Captain, Alyce Wilson – Frist Officer, and Mutian Tait – Flight Nurse. The crew flew from Hamilton to Whakatane Hospital up to Auckland’s Starship Hospital and then back to Hamilton.
The team transported a mother and her 3-month-old baby girl to Auckland for overnight oximetry and investigation at Starship Hospital. The oximetry was to investigate the cause of pulmonary hypertension with right ventricular overload and dysfunction.
