You asked for: Air Ambulance
air ambulance related items we found:
An air ambulance is an aircraft (often a helicopter) that is used for emergency medical assistance in situations where a road ambulance cannot easily or quickly reach the scene.
Usually an air ambulance is equipped with material which enables the crew to give a first adequate medical treatment to a critically injured or ill patient. This mostly includes for example a respirator, medicines, an ECG and monitoring unit, CPR equipment, a stretcher, etc.
The medical crew normally consists of one or more paramedics but is mostly joined by a flight nurse or a physician who has been specially trained for this duty.
Who exactly forms the crew with which qualification depends on the regional structure of the emergency medical assistance which the air ambulance usually cooperates with.
On many air ambulance, pilots with immense experience in avionic matters and flight business are occupied. This is required because the conditions of air ambulance flights are often much less convenient than regular non-emergency flight services.
