Patient Preparation

LifeMed responds to a variety of calls, everything from scene flights to prearranged international trips. Every situation is a little different but there are a few basic rules that we tend to follow that might help guide a referring agency in the way the patient is prepared for transport. A few of the rules are listed below, if you have any questions please call 1-800-478-5433 and ask for the Chief Clinical Officer - Mimi Bourquin.

 • All patients will need IV access
 • Trauma patients will need C-Collars, spinal immobilization and back
    boarded excluding isolated extremity trauma
 • All cardiac patients will be placed on cardiac monitors and oxygen
 • OB patients will need to be evaluated by crew for risk of delivery

Family members are welcome to ride along as both the pilot in command and medical crew agree it can be done in a safe manner and it falls in the weight and balance of the aircraft, only one rider allowed at a time.
