Importance of Air Ambulance in Emergency

In the field of Emergency Medical Services, time plays a very important role as you need to reach to the patients as early as possible to assist them with immediate care and take them to the nearest hospital, if needed. Even a delay of a fraction of a second may cost the patient's life. To cope up with this situation, a series of improvements have been made to serve people in a more efficient manner in critical emergency medical situations.

A few years ago, an ambulance was used only to take patients to hospitals. Whereas, today, the modern ambulances comprise of latest technological equipments so that patients can be given emergency services even before reaching the nearest hospital. In some of the cases, transporting the patient to a bigger hospital is not required due to the treatment provided in the nearest hospital. On the other hand, there are some of the places across many cities in our country that are not accessible to regular ambulance services because of lack of development or space within that area. These areas may be remote areas or places that can't be reached quickly by a normal sized ambulance.

In these cases, it would be more suitable if we use an air ambulance. An air ambulance is an aircraft which is used for emergency medical assistance for quicker response to areas where air transport facility is mostly available. Apart from functioning as a traditional ambulance, an air ambulance consists of all the required medical equipments like ECG, ventilators, medicine, and stretchers etc. Moreover, a group of medical personnel is also aboard with the air ambulance to assist the patient in the best possible manner.
