Topic: Air ambulance


  
  Air ambulance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An air ambulance is an aircraft (often a helicopter) that is used for emergency medical assistance in situations where a road ambulance cannot easily or quickly reach the scene.
The medical crew of an air ambulance normally consists of one or more paramedics but is mostly joined by a flight nurse or a physician who has been specially trained for this duty.
Schaefer Air Service is also the first FAA certified air ambulance service in the U.S. Private sector Air Ambulances are quite expensive and therefore travelers who may need the service need to purchase adequate travel insurance with a high enough medical evacuation benefit to pay for such emergency transport services, should the need arise.
