Air ambulance
Air ambulance is a term that’s used to describe an aircraft that’s especially equipped to give medical backing and transport to medical extremities. Air ambulances are used to transport critically ill or injured cases from one place to another. The term is most generally used to relate to copters, but may also relate to fixed- sect aircraft.
Air ambulances are used when road transport isn’t possible due to the nature of the medical emergency or the distance between the case and the needed medical care. Air ambulances are used for long distance transport of critically ill or injured cases, time-sensitive organ transplants, neonatal transport, and medical extradition.
Air ambulances are equipped with medical labor force, technical medical outfit, and life support systems, including ventilators and observers, to ensure the loftiest position of care is handed to the case during transport. Air ambulances also generally have further space than traditional ambulances and are more comfortable for the case.
The cost of air ambulance services can vary extensively depending on the type of aircraft used and the distance of the transport. Costs can range from several hundred bones
to several thousand bones
. Insurance companies may cover some or all of the cost of air ambulance transport.
Air ambulance services are handled by private companies, government agencies, and charities. Private companies generally operate a line of air ambulances and give medical labor force and outfit. Government agencies, similar to the National Guard, may also give air ambulance services in some areas. Charities, similar to the Red Cross, also give air ambulance services in some areas.
Air ambulances are a critical element of the medical emergency response system. They give a safe and effective way to transport critically ill or injured cases to the necessary medical care. Air ambulance services are available worldwide, and can give life- saving medical care in the most remote locales.
