When a loved one becomes bed-bound due to illness or injury, transporting them by air can be a daunting task. However, with the right planning and support, it is indeed possible for bed-bound patients to fly. At Qwiklif Air Ambulance, we specialize in ensuring safe and comfortable air travel for patients with medical needs. Here, we explore the various modes of transfer available and how bed-bound patients can safely travel by air.
Commercial Flights with Medical Escorts
For stable bed-bound patients who do not require intensive medical care, traveling on a commercial flight with a medical escort can be a cost-effective option. This service involves:
– Medical Escorts: Trained medical professionals who accompany the patient throughout the flight, providing necessary care and monitoring.
– Stretchers: Some airlines offer the option of a stretcher setup in the cabin, replacing several seats with a stretcher and privacy curtains to accommodate the patient.
– Medical Equipment: Essential medical equipment can be arranged to be carried on board to monitor and support the patient’s health.
Commercial Stretcher Transfers
Commercial stretcher transfers are another viable option for bed-bound patients. This service is similar to the above but involves more extensive arrangements:
– Airline Coordination: Coordination with the airline to reserve space and make necessary modifications to the cabin for a stretcher.
– Medical Team: A dedicated medical team to manage the patient’s needs throughout the journey.
– Ground Transportation: Arranging for an ambulance to transport the patient to and from the aircraft.
This mode of transfer is ideal for patients who are stable but need to lie flat during the flight.
Dedicated Air Ambulance
For patients requiring intensive care, a dedicated air ambulance is the most suitable option. Qwiklif Air Ambulance offers:
– Private Charter Flights: Aircraft specifically equipped to handle medical emergencies, including ICU capabilities.
– Advanced Medical Equipment: The latest medical technology to provide comprehensive in-flight care.
– Specialized Medical Staff: Highly trained doctors, nurses, and paramedics specialized in air medical transport.
Dedicated air ambulances are ideal for critically ill or severely injured patients who need constant monitoring and advanced medical care during the flight.
