I posted about medivac helicopters on October 26th with a video of a medivac helicopter working in New Jersey. I knew that I wanted to embed a video of what it is like inside a typical medivac helicopter. I was hoping to find such a video of a medivac helicopter based in New Jersey or adjoining areas, but this is not to be. At least not today. However, I did find a video showing the inside of a Life Flight helicopter, shot three years ago and narrated by a young man on his EM rotation who got permission from Life Flight to do the video that I will share with you. I believe that his intended audience are folk in the medical community who might be interested in working as medical staff on a medivac helicopters, but I certainly learned a lot and I hope you do as well.
According to this video's information, see below for the direct link and expand the about this video window, information about Life Flight may be found here. You will learn about the medical personnel on Life Flight helicopters and get a peak at some of the medical equipment on board. I know that there are medivac helicopters in my part of the United States, that like the Life Flight helicopters, are staffed with a flight nurse and an emergency medical services specialist.
According to the Life Flight service area page serve Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. As I have friends who currently live or used to live in this part of the United States, some of whom subscribed to medivac helicopter services, it seems fitting to share this video with you. Please keep in mind that the medivac helicopters in your state may be equipped differently with different protocols and perhaps different medical personnel.
Allow under eleven minutes to watch the video. Yes, there are some ads interspersed during the video.
