摘要：The knowledge of aerospace physiology is essential for aeromedical teams to perform the assistance of patients in flight. The Federal Council of Nursing (COFEN), understanding the importance of regulating the performance of nursing in this context, published in 2017 Resolution No. Thus, this study was developed with the objective of carrying out, through a bibliographic survey, which knowledge of aerospace physiology is evidenced in the literature as important for the performance of the aerospace nurse. Material and Method: An integrative review study, with a qualitative approach, developed in six stages: elaboration of the guiding question; literature search or sampling, data collection, critical analysis of included studies, discussion of results and presentation of the integrative review. Articles published between 2008 and 2021 were searched in the Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature databases - LILAC, Scientific Electronic Library Online - Scielo and Virtual Health Library - VHL. Of the articles found, 07 publications showed adherence to the topic under study. Results and Discussion: Some important effects of aerospace physiology on the human body were evidenced and such effects interfere with in-flight nursing care. These are flight hypoxia, dysbarisms, abrupt changes in temperature and humidity, aerokinetosis and accelerations. Conclusion: the flight nurse, in order to safely assist air-removed patients, needs solid knowledge of aerospace physiology to perform efficient, safe and scientifically based nursing care. It was also observed that, despite the consensus on the importance of this type of knowledge for aeromedical crews, little literary material was found in the indexed databases.
