Although it’s preposterous to think this way, an air ambulance service may not only be used as transport. Check that the air ambulance you choose has ventilators, medicine, an ECG or electrocardiography and monitoring unit, CPR or Cardiopulmonary resuscitation equipment, and stretchers for critical situations.The best way to determine whether the air ambulance service that you get is capable of handling critical situations is to ask for a copy of an Air Ambulance License/Permit. This is given by the local Health Department after they’ve checked the capacity of the air ambulance to handle dire situations. They also check the license of the medical personnel on board, the level of care that they can give, the capacity of the medical equipments and the minimum requirements for giving medications on board.Also, look for info that can help with determining whether on board personnel such as the nurses are trained for in-flight medical services.
