medevacking
Helicopter casualty transport
Medevacking is evacuating someone by medical aircraft, typically a helicopter.
The term comes from military usage, where wounded soldiers are airlifted to hospitals or field stations.
It now applies to civilian emergency transport as well: They medevacked the hiker after she broke her leg on the trail.
Also spelled medevacing.
