Commercial Airline Stretcher Service International Commercial Airline Stretcher Service is an option when you or your loved one becomes ill or injured when traveling in the United States or abroad and need to return home. This service can offer tremendous cost savings over an air ambulance, yet still provide the highest level of comfort for the client. AMN will work directly with the airline to insure that the plane is prepared for the trip. The airline will remove several rows of seating in the back of the plane to allow for a FAA regulation medical stretcher and all necessary equipment required for the transfer. If the airline offers business class seating that reclines and serves your departure and destination airports, AMN will determine if this is a viable option. This can potentially provide additional savings.
One example would be if you or your loved one were traveling from Ohio in the United States to Europe. While site seeing at the Caerleon Roman Fortress & Baths, your husband slips down a small set of stairs, falls and cannot walk very well once he stands up. He is in a fair amount of pain, mainly in his lower back. You visit the local hospital, where they run a series of tests, x-rays, a MRI and determine that your husband has ruptured a disk in his back. The doctor advises you that your husband will need surgery to repair the ruptured disk. You both decide that the best option is to return back to Ohio and consult your primary care doctor for a second opinion and treatment. Your husband is able to manage his pain and discomfort with medication and positioning. He can only sit up for a short period of time. The concern you now have is how you will manage to get back to Ohio and manage the travel day, which could take the better part of one to two full days. He is more comfortable lying down and you are not able to move him without assistance. AMN is the perfect solution. Thank you for choosing Air Medical Network, Inc |
