How We Work
1. Medical Case Assessment
The team collects the patient’s diagnosis, recent medical reports, current condition and treatment requirements. This information helps determine whether air transportation is suitable.
2. Transfer Planning
After reviewing the case, the team plans the aircraft, medical crew, ICU equipment, route and airport requirements. The receiving hospital’s availability may also be confirmed.
3. Ground Ambulance Arrangement
A suitable ambulance is arranged to transport the patient from the current hospital or residence to the departure airport. Similar support is coordinated at the destination.
4. Medical Flight Coordination
The patient is transferred under the supervision of the assigned medical team. Vital signs are monitored throughout the journey, and required medical support is provided during the flight.
5. Destination Hospital Handover
After landing, the patient is moved to the destination hospital through a coordinated ground ambulance transfer. The medical team provides the necessary handover information to the receiving doctors.
ICU Facilities Available During the Flight
The aircraft setup is selected according to the patient’s medical condition. Depending on the transfer requirement, available equipment may include:
- Portable ventilator
- Multipara cardiac monitor
- Oxygen delivery system
- Infusion and syringe pumps
- Defibrillator
- Suction machine
- Emergency medicines
- Stretcher and immobilisation equipment
- Portable critical-care kits
The medical team monitors important parameters such as oxygen saturation, blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory status during the journey.
Doctor and Paramedic Support
The medical crew may include a critical-care doctor, nurse, paramedic or other trained healthcare professional. The team reviews the patient’s medical records before departure and prepares an appropriate care plan.
Patients requiring ventilator support, oxygen therapy, cardiac monitoring or emergency medication can be transported with the necessary medical supervision, subject to clinical assessment and operational feasibility.
