Background Medical rescue transfer and handover in manned spaceflight is a critical component of space rescue operations, directly impacting the safety and well-being of astronauts. Objective This study aims to develop a comprehensive checklist for the medical rescue transfer and handover processes associated with manned spaceflight, thereby enhancing the efficiency of these procedures. Methods The checklist was designed and implemented during practical training sessions focused on manned space medical rescue. Participants were divided into two groups: one utilizing the checklist for transfer handover and another relying on verbal communication. Key metrics such as transfer time, quality of handover, and satisfaction scores were collected and analyzed for both groups. Results The group employing the checklist demonstrated significantly improved outcomes compared to the verbal group in terms of transfer time, quality of handover, and overall satisfaction scores (P < 0.001). Conclusion The implementation of checklist management has been shown to enhance both the efficiency and quality of transportation and handover processes, establishing a robust foundation for successfully executing manned space medical rescue missions.
