What Is an Air Ambulance Used For?

An air ambulance is a type of aircraft that has been outfitted with medical equipment so that it can transport critically ill or injured patients. These patients cannot safely travel on a commercial airline, so they need a specialized aircraft to take them to the hospital that offers the level of care they require. Often, these patients are traveling abroad and want to be transported to a hospital close to home, ensuring they can recover in a familiar environment and near their loved ones.

An air ambulance is able to transport patients experiencing any kind of medical condition, even life-threatening cases like heart attacks and strokes. This is because these aircraft are equipped to function like an intensive care unit, featuring hospital beds, cardiac monitors, ventilators, respirators, pulse oximeters, intubation equipment, defibrillators, IV pumps, and more. The staff on board an air ambulance is trained to deal with the most severe conditions. They typically have emergency room and critical care training.
