Air ambulance provides specialized medical care while travelling in the air. It might be a land vehicle, a fixed-wing (aeroplane), or rotor-wing (helicopter) aircraft. It connects hospitals by giving patients, with medical problems, access to specialized care. So that,before the arrival of the victims, referral health centers, doctors, nurses, and paramedics on air ambulances can start providing rapid care.
Nearly as old as powered flight itself, the use of aeroplanes to evacuate the injured has its military roots. 160 injured French troops from the Siege of Paris in 1870 were flown back to their country in hot air balloons. The U.S. had specifically outfitted helicopters for medical evacuation in the early 1950s during the Korean War, and by 1969, in the Vietnam War, specially trained medical corpsmen were providing in-flight care. Following this, a group of academics came to the conclusion that servicemen injured in combat had higher survival rates than motorists hurt on Californian roadways thatled to the introduction of paramedics in civilian medical transport.
An air medical service is a broad phrase that refers to the use of aircraft or helicopters for air transportation of patients to and from medical facilities and accident scenes. On-board helicopters, jet aircraft, and propeller-driven aircraft personnels provides complete pre-hospital assistances, emergency, and critical care to all sorts of patients during aeromedical evacuation or rescue operations. The advantages of medical transport by helicopters may include providing a higher level of care at the scene of trauma and improving access to trauma centers. Helicopter-based emergency medical service (EMS) also provides critical care capabilities during inter facility transport from community hospitals to trauma centers.
