Air medical escort is the most accessed international medical transfer service for patients forced to reach centers of excellence abroad or medically repatriated and need medical care during the flight to their destination. Unlike air ambulance services that use dedicated aircraft and intensive care equipment, the air medical escort service involves a CAMTS certified medical professional (doctor/nurse on board) who provides medical assistance to the patient on a regular commercial flight. Medical personnel have extensive knowledge of flight conditions and the granting of treatment on board aircraft and the use of medical equipment on scheduled commercial flights.
Patients can be transported by commercial aircraft (regular flights) by fitting on board the aircraft a system called (on-board stretcher) in which appropriate medical care and treatment can be provided throughout the flight. Medical equipment specially authorized by the FAA and EASA may be used on board the aircraft and complies with all TSA regulations.
Another mode of international medical air transport is the additional seat (extracted), it is intended for people who are forced to travel medium and long distances. The second place is needed for special medical equipment that must be secured during the flight. Due to the transport regulations on the safety of commercial flights, medical escort teams must have advanced knowledge of the provision of care on board both for the patient and in the event of an emergency that may occur in one of the passengers, such incidents being common over medium and long distances. This means of international medical transport is the most widely used and is one of the most financially convenient.

PATIENT CARE

AMEGA solutions for international medical transport and medical escort provide care to both patients in critical condition but also to those stable or trauma who cannot travel unassertively, but do not require an air ambulance service.

When to use medical escorts?

The medical escort service is intended for people who are hemodynamically stable and depends on the flight schedule and the type of aircraft, the rules of each company and only on certain routes will they be able to be carried out. There are certain limitations on who can use medical escort services and when. Air medical transport services are much more advantageous when the patient is not in critical condition and is not an emergency. However, there are many scenarios in which medical escort services can help patients in unstable conditions or requiring medical air transport. A medical escort is a non-emergency transport service that patients use for various reasons. Some of the conditions that would be appropriate for medical escort services include: An injured or sick patient requiring a medical repatriation.
Someone who has to travel for an assessment of the disease and for the purpose of a treatment or other special medical needs:
The air medical escort has during the transport of the necessary medical equipment that will be customized to the patient’s needs and according to the treatment administered during the flight. Often, the condition of patients at high altitudes can worsen, qualified air medical escort can help prevent emergency landings of the aircraft or denied access on board the aircraft by the aircraft crew. Also, if patients have cognitive difficulties, an air medical escort can help them with the necessary check-in and security processes at airports.

WHAT TYPE OF MEDICAL CARE CAN A MEDICAL ESCORT PROVIDE?

The responsibilities of air medical escorts during the flight are crucial for the safety and well-being of the patient. An air medical escort works with medical teams on the ground to ensure that the patient receives specific care during airport stays or during a layover. Medical escort services are usually almost the same as hospital care (depending on the competence of the escorts). Whether you need an air medical escort or a medical team on board involving multiple doctor and nurse people, AMEGA will provide the necessary human resources for any type of aeromedical mission

How it works

An air medical escort consists of qualified medical staff (doctor, nurse, paramedic) and CAMTS certified, or by a medical team for complex cases, They provide and provide the patient with the necessary medical assistance throughout the transfer period. When a patient needs to be transferred quickly, we contact our partners within the commercial airlines to secure a seat on the nearest available flight but not earlier than 24 hours and a maximum of 72 hours for the on-board stretcher service. We arrange road ambulances at both ends to transport the patient from and to the medical center. Once on board, our medical escort will make sure that they have everything they need for the trip: they bring with them all the necessary medicines and equipment. During the flight, they benefit from all the necessary attention, the administration of treatments and keeping the patient hydrated and comfortable. In more serious cases, we can provide oxygen support or even build an intensive care (ICU) environment if necessary.
