Air Critical Care is pleased to announce the launch of our new eBook, The What, When and How of Air Medical Transportation. When individuals become ill or are injured on a trip, they often want to receive medical care closer to home where they can be near family and friends to recover. In these situations, transportation via an air ambulance service becomes necessary. Understanding the basics of using an air ambulance can help you make the right choice when faced with this type of situation.

What Is an Air Ambulance Service?

The eBook begins by explaining what benefits an air ambulance company can provide for patients. This includes describing the patients who are likely to need the service, as well as what the company can provide by offering them the highest level of patient care as they move from one medical facility to another. The primary focus of these companies is to give patients a better way to get closer to home to receive the medical care they need due to an injury or illness suffered while out of the country or away from home.

The Type of Medical Care

An air ambulance won’t have the same equipment as a hospital or large medical facility. However, each plane is equipped with the appropriate equipment and treatment options that will give patients the quality medical care they may require, even if an emergency occurs in the air. This new eBook will discuss the types of equipment that are available on these flights, providing patients with the staff and equipment they need to stay safe during their transport.

How This Service Works

The eBook continues providing information to readers about how an air ambulance service works and what they can do for their patients. For instance, even though they are an air medical transportation company, they also offer ground services between the medical facilities and the airport. There’s no need for families to struggle through the intricacies of planning interim transportation. The air ambulance company handles it all, from picking up at one medical facility to dropping off at another.
