The aircraft used for medical evacuation in case of emergencies is known as Air Ambulance or Aeromedical Evacuation or medevac. In the industry of offering Emergency Medical Services, time is a key point. A part of a second is essential and may also cost the patient's life. The need of the air ambulance can be determined with its requirement in the transportation of patients for long distances where other ambulance services like road or rail cannot reach in time. The patients when critical need to be shifted in time and that too in highly protected environment. The aircrafts have been personalized in such a way that it functions like a mobile intensive care device. All of these ambulances bring common medical equipments with full ICU backup like ventilators, multi-para monitors, defibrillator, suction machine, infusion pump, all emergency equipments. Taking patients with extreme care is our primary motto for which a specialised team of medical team- including one doctor (ICU specialist) and one trained technician (Para-medic) continuously monitor the condition of the patient in order to avoid any kind of discrepancies. Before hiring any air ambulance service, it is important to know that how the air transportation takes place. The air transportation can be done via two medium:
As the name suggests, the difference between the two services can be determined on the basis of the types of aircrafts used.
The charter aircrafts are little bit expensive than the commercial flight services but it can be the savoir for the patients who have to be shifted to a place where regular commercial flights cannot reach. The private charters can reach to every place where air strips are available for landing. The air charters can be taken to any place and at any time. Besides this, the patient is shifted under the observation of the medical team without any kind of interference from the outside world. The aircraft only carries the patient, the medical team along with two relatives of the patient (no other passenger is allowed). Some of the charters used by us are C-90, B-200, Pilatus (PC-12), Citation-2, Citation-XL.
On the other hand, the commercial flights are comparatively cheaper and are really helpful to the patients who want to get shifted to long distances at half cost. These flights can go to the scheduled places on scheduled timings. The time and venues cannot be altered. But what makes it beneficial is; the patient is shifted under the observation of the medical team which helps in continuous monitoring of the patient's health, thus ensuring the safe transportation to the desired place in low cost.
