An air ambulance is the best
option in a medical emergency when the patient needs to be air lifted and
transported to a better medical facility.
An air ambulance is an
air craft that is especially designed to carry critically ill patients from one
medical unit to another. It is fully equipped with an intensive care unit, a
stretcher especially designed for the flight and all other medical equipment
that might be needed in an emergency. It is fully loaded with drugs, medication
and a well trained team of experienced paramedics.
1. Who Needs an Air Ambulance?
An air ambulance is
generally called for when a critically ill patient needs to be transported for
more than a distance of 250miles. Only a patient, who is not capable of sitting
through a long commercial flight, will be transported by an air ambulance.
2. Fully Equipped for
All Specialized Procedures
An air ambulance has all
the equipments in place for any specialized procedures that might have to be
undertaken while in flight. These procedures can range care for a burn victim,
treatment for cancer, a patient with an injury to the head or spinal cord, and
stoke victims.
3. Convenient for the Elderly
In certain cases it has
been seen that the elderly are not fit enough to sit through a commercial flight
and get very stressed out. They also tend to get hassled by the security clearances
and other formalities at the airport. An air ambulance is a great boon for
children who are looking for a safe option to transport their elderly parents
form one place to another. Air ambulances are often used by rehabilitation
centers and other specialized medical institutions for transfer of patients
too.
