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.

On a completely normal day, medical helicopters and other forms of air medical transport will not cross the mind of any living soul. If you don’t need something, you barely think of it at all. But at the face of an emergency, the need for medical helicopters undoubtedly rise out of the blue.
Over the years, medical helicopters have not been given the recognition they deserved. Air medical transport systems aren’t as much sought after as ambulances, and so, they aren’t as commercially known and endorsed by the general public as compared to ambulances. When emergencies emerge, people only call out to what they have come to know and that has always been the trustee big white van.
What most people fail to see is how important the air medical transport system is. One may think, alright, how much do we really need this medical helicopter? Why go for it when it’s way more expensive? If you think medical helicopters are expensive, well, how much is your life?
Granted, the need for medical helicopters arise from extreme and remote cases. These situations can range from getting help from an isolated location to a patient clinging on for dear life with only minutes to spare. And right then and there, you can sense the gravity of the need for an efficient air medical transport system.
Think about this. A medical helicopter can make the difference between life and death. That alone is reason enough to stand by the importance of emergency medical helicopters.
Professionals are keen on improving the services offered by air medical transport providers. A little faith goes a really long way.

When emergency strikes, depending on the gravity of the situation, communication becomes a vital piece of survival. It’s the fine line between being saved or sadly, perishing. That’s why the need to communicate at all costs can’t be stressed well enough.
As always, maintaining a clear state of mind during an emergency is still the number one thing everyone should do. The next thing is to communicate.
Here are ways to communicate in the event of an emergency. Most of these require preparation early on, so take note of these tips.
Find out the kind of landline service that you use.
Mind you that newer telephone services run on electricity. Once power source has been cut out, you won’t be able to communicate through these. If you’re using the older, traditional phones, on the other hand, you may be able to utilize these phones even if the power is out. However, take note that this is only for traditional phones that have cords. Cordless phones may still require electricity to work. That’s why it is highly advised to know what kind of telephone service you are using.
Keep your mobile phones charged.
Wherever you go, always bring a charger or a power bank to prevent your phone from dying. If you can, keep an emergency phone in your car. Make sure it is within your access so that you can reach for it easily when the need arises.
Invest on broadcasters.
If you can afford it, you may want to buy broadcasters or portable digital televisions. These gadgets are an ideal source of news in case of emergencies. You may want to buy one that is battery-operated.
Know who to call.
Keep a set of numbers that you can call when a -disaster occurs. Include AirGurus on your list of emergency contact. AirGurus is Philippines’ number one air ambulance provider and helicopter. We operate 24/7 to your avail.
