An air ambulance is a flying intensive care unit. Here is what you will typically find on board.
Equipment
- Multi-parameter patient monitor
- Ventilator and oxygen supply
- Defibrillator and syringe pumps
- Suction and airway equipment
- Stretcher and immobilisation devices
The medical team
Doctors, paramedics or nurses with critical care experience accompany the patient, selected according to the case.
Safety and comfort
Cabin pressure, temperature and noise are managed as far as possible to protect the patient.
Family on board
Depending on the aircraft, one or two relatives may accompany the patient.
How the team prepares
Before the flight the team reviews the case, tests every machine, packs medication and confirms oxygen supply for the whole journey, including a safety margin. This preparation is part of why air ambulances can maintain ICU-level care.
Key takeaway: Every mission is tailored. Share the diagnosis so we can prepare the right equipment.
Frequently asked questions
Is the cabin pressurised?
Jets and many turboprops are pressurised, which is gentler on patients. Helicopters fly at lower altitudes.
Can the patient lie flat?
Yes. Air ambulance stretchers are designed to keep patients lying flat or in the required position.
