Organ transportation

Scottsdale, Arizona - One of the most important services Jet Rescue Air Ambulance provides is organ transportation needed for organ transplants. Organ transplants are fast-paced medical dramas that hold the promise of a new life. In other words an organ transplant is the moving of an organ from one body to another body or from a donor site to the recipient's body, with the purpose of replacing the recipient's damaged or absent organ.

The medical specialists involved in transplant surgeries need lots of skill and experience. With time virtually always against them, they need a transport team they can fully count on.

The Jet Rescue Air Ambulance organ transport service operates both by road and air, depending on the distance of the transport. We have a network of over 3000 Aircraft ready to respond to any emergency, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Next to our network of aircrafts we also have a fleet of all-new, ultra-modern vehicles available to preclude mechanical failures in transit. Our vehicles are equipped with state of the art radio communications as well Global Positional Services (GPS) to track movement and ensure timely arrival at required destinations.

For Jet Rescue Air Ambulance safety is a priority. All aircrafts and vehicles are fully equipped with the latest in avionics and safety equipment. We are 24/7 ready to move medical staff and carry out organ transportation locally, nationally and also internationally.

As well as carrying out organ transportation, we can also transport coordinators and surgical teams. This to ensure that the specialists are always there where they are needed most. The specialists can be transported to the organ-procurement hospital and they can also be brought back to the organ transplant hospital after the surgery.

The cost of an air ambulance service

Air Ambulances are fixed wing or rotor wing aircrafts meant to transport injured or seriously ill people in a fast way. The advantages of air ambulances against ground ambulances are as follows;

Distance - An air ambulance is an excellent choice for patients that require long distance transport. Air ambulances are fast and the chances of the patient arriving on time for appropriate treatment are far greater than any other means of transportation.

Remote locations - An accident can happen and take place anywhere. Imagine something bad happens while hiking in the mountains. No roads or houses nearby, only rocky terrain. In a lot of remote areas such as these the patient can simply not be reached by ground ambulance. A helicopter would be a fast and secure option to retrieve the patient from such a remote area.

The cost of an air ambulance service ranges from approximately $9.000 up to $70.000, but in general varies in every country and between each air ambulance company.
As you can see above the cost of an air ambulance service is quite expensive. How is the cost of an air ambulance service determined? There are variables that determine the exact cost of the service. Underneath we will discuss the most important variables.

Level of Care needed
Depending on the diagnosis of the patient it is decided what medical equipment will
be brought along and what level of care is needed. There are 3 levels of care:

Level I: A specially trained Physician, one Critical Care-trained Registered Nurse and a Respiratory Therapist or a Critical Care Transport Paramedic (in some cases a Nurse Practitioner may replace the Physician, and a second Registered Nurse may replace the Respiratory Therapist on the three person team).

Level II: Two Critical Care-trained Registered Nurse or Respiratory Therapist (in some cases a Nurse Practitioner may replace the Physician).

Level III: One Critical Care-trained Registered Nurse and one Critical Care Transport Paramedic.

Aircraft & Fuel usage
The operational cost varies between the different types of air ambulance airplanes. The fuel usage however is the main cost factor for an air ambulance flight and depends on the distance to be flown.

The time frame in booking an air ambulance depends on your emergency. The emergency will be analyzed by our Flight Coordination crew and if you need immediate attention, they will do everything in their power to get to you as soon as possible.
Payment

The air ambulance service can be paid cash, or by using credit card. Money orders, bank wire drafts, cashier checks, or personal checks are accepted in some cases.

Having a medical insurance or travel insurance is a must for people travelling abroad. It will ease your mind as well as the various medical and financial problems that can occur abroad.

One thing that you should remember is that the most important thing in this world is our own well-being.
