Air Ambulance Helicopter needed? Learn more about our patient transportation services by Helicopter?

Air ambulance helicopters (sometimes referred to as “air medical helicopters”) provide a rapid solution for direct patient transport from hospital to hospital, even for intensive care patients, as they are fitted with equipment similar to an intensive care ward and have experienced doctors on board. 

When each minute counts when transporting a seriously ill patient, the flexibility a helicopter air ambulance provides can be significant, enabling patients to reach their home hospital as fast as possible, considerably faster than ground ambulances.
Helicopter air ambulances are often used for short flights since they have the unique ability to land directly at a hospital. Helicopter air ambulances are also quicker and more convenient compared to ground ambulances.

At Medical Air Service, our air ambulance helicopters are equipped with the latest medical equipment and are deployed along with experienced medical personnel. This ensures the flight is as safe and as comfortable as possible for the patient.

Intensive Care Transport by Ambulance Helicopter: how do we ensure a swift and safe journey?

To provide optimum care for patients, medevac helicopters (e.g. EC 135, EC 145, AS 365 ‘Dauphin’) are fitted with permanently installed intensive care equipment that can be extended and modified, if required. A highly qualified team of physicians will accompany you or your loved one to ensure a safe flight.

Standard Equipment in an Air Ambulance Helicopter for your peace of mind

Our medevac helicopters carry standard intensive care equipment, including the following:

  • Scoop stretcher with vacuum mattress and patient warming system
  • Emergency rucksack with special equipment for child and baby care
  • Portable intensive care transport respirator
  • Oxygen
  • Infection protection sets
  • Artificial respiration bag with demand valve and vacuum pumps
  • Equipment for monitoring blood pressure, temperature and blood oxygen levels
  • Defibrillator, external pacemakers, injection pumps, and pressure infusion bags.
