Air Ambulance India specializes in Patient Transport
1. Air Ambulance India specializes in Patient Transport
India has teams of in house aviation and travel experts who will make
the arrangements necessary to deal with any medical or security
request requiring ground or Air Ambulance transportation. With their
industry knowledge, established contacts and logistical expertise, our
teams can quickly organize a variety of services. We can secure wide
bodied aircrafts to respond to mass casualty situations and large
scale security evacuations. Where we need to enhance our capability
to evacuate critical medical cases, India has invested in a fleet of
International SOS air ambulances that function as intensive care
units in the sky. These can be immediately deployed and have adult
to neonatal and pediatric capability in India.
The reason why air ambulance in India is so vital is as follows. If a
person is on vacation in Mexico and has a medical emergency such
as a heart attack, kidney failure, third degree burns, a spinal fracture
etc... He requires immediate attention and the best doctors or
surgeons to perform an operation. This is just one example of where
the services of an air ambulance would be essential, to transport the
patient immediately to trusted professionals. Another example of
where an air ambulance is used and needed by hospitals is in the
case of an organ transplant. For example, a person in New York
needs a liver transplant and the only suitable donor is in San
Francisco, the hospital needs the organ to be transported within 24
hours. In this case they would have an air ambulance pick up the
liver from San Francisco and deliver it to New York within the allotted
time frame. The trip is too far for a helicopter; therefore a jet is the
only way to transport it.
An air ambulance in India is essential for any medical
facilities, since a medical emergency can arrive sporadically. If you
have this service, you will be ready and well equipped to handle the
emergency and very likely save a life. Make sure that your hospital or
nursing home provides this service and will always be ready to save
lives.
Use of air ambulance in Military:
2. As with many innovations in Emergency Medical Service (EMS), the
concept of transporting the injured by aircraft has its origins in the
military and the concept of using aircrafts as ambulances is almost as
old as powered flight itself. Air medical transport first occurred in 1870
during the Siege of Paris when 150 wounded French soldiers were
transported by hot air balloons to France. During the First World War
Air Ambulances were tested by various military organizations.
Aircrafts were still primitive at that time, with limited capabilities and
the efforts received mixed reviews. The exploration of the idea
continued, however and by 1936, an organized military air ambulance
service was evacuating the wounded from the Spanish Civil War for
medical treatment in Nazi Germany. The US military has recently
employed UH 60 Black Hawk helicopters to provide air ambulance
services during the Iraq War to both civilians and military personnel.
The use of military aircrafts as battlefield ambulances continues to
grow and develop today in a variety of countries, as does the use of
fixed wing aircrafts for long distance travel, including repatriation of
the wounded.
Things that are certain is that an Air Ambulance service will routinely
transport to and from hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation
facilities, hospices and private residences with a highly trained group
that will safeguard lives by providing medical treatment services while
transporting the patients. The air ambulance specialist usually
consists of emergency or critical care medical technicians,
paramedics, flight nurses, a respiratory therapist, a surgeon,
anesthetist, trauma specialist and even a physician. It depends on the
type of service provider, the vehicle used for air ambulance itself and
medical treatment requirements of the patient. All the medical staffs
are required to have ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) and
PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) certifications.
Organization:
Air ambulance service, sometimes called aero medical Evacuation
or simply Mede vac, is provided by a variety of different sources in
different places in India and the world. There are a number of
reasonable methods of differentiating types of air ambulance
services. These include military/civilian models and services that are
government funded, fees for services, donated by business
enterprises or funded by public donations. It may also be reasonable
3. to differentiate between dedicated aircrafts and those with multiple
purposes and roles. Finally, it is reasonable to differentiate by the
type of aircraft used, including rotary wing, fixed wing or very large
aircrafts. It should also be noted that this information applies to air
ambulance systems performing emergency services. In almost all
jurisdictions, private aircraft charter companies provide non
emergency air ambulance service on fees for services basis.
Government operated air ambulance in India:
In some cases, air ambulance services will be provided by
governments, either directly or by means of a negotiated contract with
a commercial service provider, such as an aircraft charter company.
Such services may focus on the transfer of critical care patients, may
support ground based EMS on scenes or may perform a combination
of these roles. In almost all cases, the government will provide
guidelines for use to both hospitals and EMS systems in India, in
order to keep operating costs under controls and may specify
operating procedures in some level of details in order to limit potential
liabilities, but almost always takes a 'hands off' approach to the actual
running of the system, relying instead on local managers with subject
matter (physicians and aviation executives) expertise.
An air ambulance is the same idea as an ambulance truck; the only
difference is that one drives and one flies. Another term in India that's
also used to describe an air ambulance is Mede vac. An air
ambulance has all the required tools and machines for a medical
patient in order to transfer them safely to a hospital. The air
ambulance jets are all equipped for advanced life support with
ventilators, medications, CPR equipments, an ECG, stretchers and all
the necessary medical supplies.
There is no loss to the hospital or any medical facility that uses air
ambulance (Government use, Nursing homes, assisted living etc...)
in India because they are only charged a fee when they actually use
it. For instance, if anyone has this service there will be an air
ambulance waiting for them until they call in an emergency. There is
no charge for having the air ambulance waiting around for possible
use. To learn more about the Air Ambulance service in India, please
