Air Ambulance

An air ambulance is an airplane or helicopter ambulance aircraft specially equipped for transporting individuals with medical emergencies. When time is of the essence an air ambulance would avoid any delays associated with ground transport such as traffic jams etc.

There are differing levels of medical assistance available on air ambulances. Some are for non-emergency whereas others are like normal ambulances in that they are able to provide basic triage care, in addition to helping prep patients for their arrival at a hospital or other medical institute. Helicopter ambulances are used for shorter distances and airplane ambulances are used for longer distances like internationally. Most air ambulance companies are ready to mobilize 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
