Children’s Air Ambulance for Pediatric and Neonatal Critical Care Transport

Transporting pediatric patients require a specialized team who understands that pediatric patients are not just “little adults” who can be treated in the same way as adult patients. That is why we specially train our team to be able to assess the most subtle of differences in our pediatric patients that might indicate discomfort, stress, or weakening during flight.

Caring for pediatric patients is unique not only due to physiological and anatomical differences, but also social and developmental influences. Pediatric patients have unique anatomical, physiological, and developmental characteristics that can alter their evaluation and care. By understanding characteristics of the pediatric anatomy, the medical flight crew can ensure the flight environment is conducive for the transport of the pediatric patient. Whether your pediatric patient requires long-distance flights or specialty transports, AirCARE1 is ready to help.

While caring for pediatric patients it is important to know the differences with their bodies that could affect medical care, especially while being transported.

Children have higher body surface area to body volume ratio than adults. This affects the ability to regulate body temperature in younger children, they can lose body heat much more rapidly than adults. Children also have higher metabolic requirements with minimal glycogen stores. Therefore, children have less reserves and can decline rather quickly if not carefully monitored.

A young child’s mental health and development is also quite different than those of adults and important to recognize to ensure our pediatric patients stay calm and can get comfortable.

Our medical flight crews are trained to be able to recognize and assess age-appropriate behavior, thus allowing for a tailored medical treatment for the patients specific age group and developmental level. Our team is equipped with techniques to help children while experiencing severe stranger anxiety. The crew is also manage highly emotionally charged situations where family members may need to be involved.

We understand the unique challenges in transporting pediatric patients. AirCARE1’s medical flight crews are trained on the growth and development of children from birth to early childhood. During each pediatric flight, the medical care we provide is unique and tailored to the age and development of the patient. Our highly specialized and compassionate pediatric team ensures our pediatric patients are transported safely and comfortably.
