The purpose of this research is to identify, name and define a set of concepts to describe specific times and time intervals relevant to patient transport by helicopter. A list of 206 potential terms was identified from 96 patient records. A purposive sample of experts, representing nurses, physicians, paramedics, pilots and communication specialists involved in air transport, was selected to participate in a five-round Delphi study conducted by e-mail. A set of 19 concepts were identified and defined; 15 of the terms were specific times, such as time of call, time of departure from base or time of arrival at the desired location, while the remaining four terms were intervals, such as time spent on the ground or time in transport.
