What to Weigh Before Calling for an Air Ambulance

Written by iManila Dev on November 3, 2017. Posted in News and Updates

We all know that air ambulance is not as common as the ordinary ambulance we hear on the road. Emergency response entails a cost, be it on the ground or in the air. But the thing with air ambulance is that the price is a mile away compared to the regular ambulance, and usually not covered by health insurances.

Calling an ambulance is clearly justified if you or someone you’re with is undergoing an emergency situation. Some of these are when you or someone is unconscious, bleeding heavily, can’t breathe, or can’t be transported safely any other way.

Calling an ambulance is no joke, how much more when calling an air ambulance. To help you make the right decisions in times of uncertainty, here are the things you need to weigh before calling for one.

Assess the danger in the situation

* Emergencies to some extent are not equally life-threatening in a matter of minutes. There are instances when an emergency does not require medics on the spot. If you don’t think your situation is a real emergency, and the person you’re with can still ride a taxi or a car, don’t call an ambulance.

Assess the distance of the nearest hospital

* Sometimes, in case of emergencies, we panic to a point that we forget to check the distance of the nearest hospital. Remote areas with poor road condition are perfect examples to call an air ambulance. Cases like accidents during hiking or mountain climbing also require the service of an air ambulance.

The thing is, the air ambulance is really a lifesaver. These can be the bridge between a hairline distance of life and death in times of emergencies.
