Ground Transportation and Communication

Ground Transportation

• Survival Flight has a dedicated Freightliner ambulance for ground transport of patients who cannot be transported by air. The ambulance can accomodate all equipment found in our helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft.

Patient Services

• We have a dedicated Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump and Abiomed, providing left and bi-ventricular assist needs for severely compromised cardiac patients. Our staff have experience transporting patients with a Heartmate and various other ventricular assist devices.
  
  
• When specialized equipment for stabilizing pediatric or spinal cord injury patients is required, it can be added to the helicopter's in-flight intensive care environment.
  
  
• For over 15 years, we have had the capabilities to transport patients requiring the Extracorporeal Life Support(ECLS).
