Are Medical Air Transport Services Truly Safe?

You may have heard about medical air transport services. These services are a great way to save and prolong peopleâ€™s lives by transporting them

to the appropriate hospital where they would be given the specialized care and treatment they need. The mode of transportation is by private

jets which do not only provide the patients fast and efficient travel time but also safety and security. They say that traveling by air is the

safest, but an air ambulance is even a lot safer because it is capable of giving the same amount of care to the patient that he or she is

receiving from a ground hospital.

Firstly, an air ambulance is manned by professionals who can give what the patient needs. Depending on the patientâ€™s case, a medical staff is

assembled to make sure that he or she is in proper custody while still being lifted to a new medical facility. This way, the patientâ€™s family

could be assured that in case of any emergency or other unexpected occurrences, their loved ones would be cared for by people who are trained

and licensed to do the job. Simply put, being in a flying ambulance does not lessen the amount of care that the patient is getting from the

hospital on the ground. In fact, he or she may even be getting more attention and closer monitoring while on the flight.

Medical air transport services use jets that are equipped with cardiac monitoring and treatment devices, ventilators, and other specialized

equipment needed for emergency. You donâ€™t have to worry that your loved one may suddenly need a piece of equipment for life support and would

not get it just because he is not in the hospital.

When the jet ambulance lands and the patient needs to be transported by ground to get to the new facility, the medical staff stays with him

until he is properly turned over to the hospital staff. This way, the patientâ€™s safety is 100 percent guarded.
