Air Ambulance
Air ambulance transport is the fastest method of transporting critically ill patients from one facility to another, or to bring them closer to loved ones. This is particularly important for international air ambulance transports, when it is necessary to fly a patient long distances with the assistance of qualified medical staff. Our aero-medically trained team, combined with the most sophisticated air ambulance equipment, ensures competent care for the most critically ill patients. There are only a few conditions that prohibit air ambulance transport:
- • Patients in labor
- • Patients who have had heart surgery within 24 hours of the flight
- • Patients with unstable vital signs
Medical Training
Based on the patient's condition - whether on Basic Life Support, Advanced Life Support, or with Acute Respiratory or Specialty Trauma issues - we assign the appropriate medical team.
Each member of our air medical crew has a minimum of five years experience in critical care. They participate in rigorous annual training programs that ensure that their skills are at the highest level and they have leading edge information regarding aero-medical protocol and procedures. This includes courses in flight safety and patient management in the airborne environment.
