How Should Appropriate Aircraft Selection Made in Patient Transfer?

Air Ambulance

In patient transfers, operation process is a matter that required attention. Being aware of the value of human life, our medical staff carry out their duty according to 24 hours principal. Also, our cockpit team that is responsible for management of air ambulance are waiting in the wings in accordance with civil aviation instructions. In medical transfer, our team that ensure all organization process to be conducted as fastest as possible carefully plan all necessary stages after flight request is received.

When patient transfer request is received to us, we initially carried out works for determining suitable transfer type to patient’s situation. There are two transfer method within Virajet. These methods are given below:

Ambulance helicopter
Ambulance jet
Ambulance helicopter is an aircraft which is heavier than the air, have engine power to make land and lift off in both land and sea without requiring any specific landing field. In ambulance helicopters, all necessary medical equipment are ready pursuant to the scope of relevant regulations specified above. Ambulance helicopters are preferred in the situations that transportation with aircrafts are not possible. In this context, it should be decided by taking weather conditions of the place to be gone and many other factors, particularly landing field into consideration.

Virajet operation team plays a big part in deciding the aircraft to be used in patient transfer. At his point, it is generally thought that receiving ambulance helicopter chartering service is a cheaper option compared to transfer with aircrafts in terms of cost. But the situation is not as how it is thought. Especially in interprovincial long distances, transfer with helicopter can be much more costly. However, helicopter is not preferred if there is a situation that constitutes an implement to access of the aircraft. The reason of this is that transfer with ambulance aircraft is much faster option. Because helicopters can travel the distance that aircrafts cover in 1 hour, in about 2 hours. Therefore, medical transfer with aircrafts will be better choice for the situations that required urgent medical response.

How Does Operational Process Proceed in Patient Transfer?

After deciding on appropriate aircraft taking all these factor into account, cost study is made by our specialist team as fast as possible.

Airport to Airport Transfer
