Considerations for helicopter transport:

  • Patient’s clinical condition requires minimization of time spent outside the hospital

  • Patient requires specific or time-sensitive evaluation or treatment not available at the referring facility

  • Patient located in an area that is inaccessible to ground transport

  • Patient requires critical care life support, which is not available with ground transport options

  • Use of local ground transport would leave the area without adequate EMS coverage

  • Critically ill or injured patients requiring specialized services such as a Level 1 Trauma Center, Cath Lab, Stroke Center, PICU or NICU

Med Evac can monitor and treat critically ill or injured patients, including:

  • Multi-system trauma patients

  • Spinal cord injury/neurological patients

  • Head injury patients

  • Cardiac, pulmonary and internal medicine patients

  • Burn patients

  • Limb reattachment patients

  • Transplant patients

  • Pediatric trauma and medical patients
