Air ambulance services become life-saving in cases of emergencies, especially in areas wherein traveling by land is difficult and challenging. Although air ambulance services can be costly, there are a number of air ambulance companies that offer competitive and affordable rates.

All of the aircraft in an air ambulance service comes with all the medical equipment that you will need in an emergency. They should contain the same provisions as an ordinary ambulance vehicle traveling on land.

Remember to look for an air ambulance service that can respond to you twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. They should not have to charge you for any extra miles in cases wherein extra miles need to be flown because the aircraft needs to be moved.

Air ambulance services also come with a team of specialists who will take professional care of the patients as they are flown from one destination to another. The nurses are often registered flight nurses for air ambulance services. Other members of the team that can be requested depending on specific needs would be flight respiratory therapists and pediatric and neonatal nurses.

If you have undergone a trauma or an accident, air ambulance services are also ideal. You can be brought from one location to another in the shortest amount of time. Burn care, orthopedics and general surgery are other cases wherein transport by air ambulance services can become necessary.

Most of the companies offering air ambulance services also give you the option to have a medical escort on commercial airlines. If you do not want to charter an air ambulance for yourself, a medical escort is the next best thing. The escort will attend to all the needs of the patient before and during the flight and the company offering the escort will also be responsible for travel arrangements for the patient and the escort.
