Onboard Equipment
CRITICAL CARE ON THE MOVE
All of our vehicles serve as mobile ICUs, bringing advanced medical care on the ground or in the skies. That is in part due to our impressive onboard technology. We continually upgrade our equipment and treatments to ensure patients receive the critical care they need from the moment reach you.
ONBOARD COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT
Keeping our ground communication specialists and pilots in constant coordination is vital to our operations. This ensures both safety and efficiency during travel. Weather updates, air traffic issues and potential delays are all managed in real-time through our advanced radio communication systems—so every transfer stays on track.
COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS
We’re equipped with digitally encrypted radios and other communications systems to stay in touch with hospitals, other agencies, and our communications center no matter if we are 40,000ft in the sky, on or off island.
ONBOARD MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
Medical equipment and treatments are essential to maintaining our high level of care in the air. With high-potency medications that aid in everything from regulating blood pressure to providing pain relief, our patients receive top-tier treatment. Our advanced medical tools help bring the same quality of care you’d expect in a hospital during every transport.
MEDICATION DELIVERY SYSTEM
We utilize multiple Sapphire IV Pumps to give medical crews the ability to offer precise dosages of medication drips during movement and transport. This ensures that the treatments started prior to our arrival are continued throughout the entire bedside-to-bedside transport.
VENTILATOR
Using both a Hamilton T1, and Revel ventilator we have the ability to offer a fully functional system that adjusts tidal volumes, pressures, rate and oxygen levels to meet the needs of medical and trauma patients. It also includes CPAP and BIPAP functions for additional respiratory support as needed.
CARDIAC MONITOR
The Zoll ProPaq MD Cardiac Monitor offers advanced invasive and non-invasive blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation and carbon dioxide readings in real-time. It also offers electrical pacing, defibrillation, core temperature readings, arterial blood pressure monitoring and the ability to transmit 12-lead EKGs to cardiac facilities from the scene.
BLOOD/IV WARMER
Blood is stored in a cold environment, but it must be warmed before administration to a patient. Our blood warmer heats blood in a matter of seconds. This maintains the patient’s body temperature, which is important to healing and stabilization.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT
All aircraft used are equipped with Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) capabilities. The advanced navigation system enhances situational awareness, reduces pilot workload and ensures safe, reliable patient transport in various weather conditions, including low visibility.
