	MEDEVAC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term MEDEVAC is usually applied to a vehicle, plane or helicopter used as an ambulance (sometimes called an "air ambulance").
		Most patients transported by MEDEVAC are taken to a specialized hospital known as a trauma center.
		Accordingly MEDEVAC aircraft are specifically modified aircraft that have lifesaving equipment on board as well as trained medical personnel as part of the crew, yet are hardly armed at all.

	Healthcare Financial Management: Medevac programs must face financial scrutiny - hospital-based air medical programs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Medevac programs can be divided into two distinct categories of service according to the type of patient transported.
		All financial and operational statistics of a medevac program are evaluated in terms of a mission, which is measured from the time of request to the point that the crew and aircraft are back in service.
		Numbers of requests for medevac service and incoming phone calls should be documented, studied, and cross-referenced to actual missions flown to help establish an understanding of the forces at work in a flight program.

	How To Run a Medevac
		Medevac birds always traveled in pairs, about five minutes out the lead medevac bird would come up on our company frequency and let you know that he's inbound and how many minutes he is from you.
		Next the medevac chopper lands, now comes the tricky part the medevac bird is on the ground and with the noise from the chopper you could not hear the NVA weapons being fired.
		I never used the medevac chopper's call sign while he was on the ground, see the medevac chopper driver was trusting you to relay gunfire info to him and his gunners.

	UH-60Q MEDEVAC
		Modernizing the Medical Evacuation (MEDEVAC) system is the Army Surgeon General's number one near term priority.
		Ground and air evacuation platforms must have the capability to provide continuous MEDEVAC support in all environmental conditions as well as communicate with supported and supporting units.
		Aeromedical evacuation capabilities are rated RED in the near and mid-terms due to the continued reliance on the UH-1V and an aging UH-60A fleet for aeromedical evacuation.

		The medevac, which is funded in part by a $1 surcharge on motor vehicle registrations, transports victims of accidents and violence to trauma centers; its counterpart, the SouthSTAR helicopter, serves South Jersey.

	MEDEVAC Crews Stand By to Save Lives
		Although there is no such thing as a routine mission for the MEDEVAC crews, this one was relatively simple—the patient had already received the operation and was in stable condition.
		The mindset of the MEDEVAC crews is very steadfast, said Chief Warrant Officer Phil Schantin, a 68th Med.
		A good day in the MEDEVAC world is judged by a lack of missions, because it usually means that no one in their area sustained life-threatening injuries that day.
