Commercial Medical Escort Services Provided by Air Ambulance Worldwide
Commercial medical escort services allow people with medical conditions to fly more safely on a commercial flight, as they will be flying with the assistance of a medical professional, such as a nurse. Air Ambulance Worldwide has been providing medical flights and medical escort services since 2004, and we are extremely knowledgeable in what types of conditions are appropriate for this type of service. What’s more, we will not just accompany the patient on the flight, but will also arrange all ground transportation and be with him or her every step of the way, providing a complete bedside-to-bedside service.
Our medical staff consists of doctors, nurses, paramedics, and respiratory therapists. Prior to a flight, we will obtain a copy of the patient’s medical record at no additional cost to determine the best type of medical professional to fly with the patient. While accompanying your patient or loved one on a commercial flight, the medical professional will also provide wheelchair assistance, administer oxygen, assist with basic hygiene, manage medication, and handle anything else the patient might need. You can feel confident that the patient will be in the best of hands because our medical professionals:
- Have at least five years of ICU experience
- Are certified in flight physiology, so they know how altitude changes will affect medical conditions and medications
- Have specialties in areas such as pediatric and geriatric medicine
