An organ transplant is a procedure that replaces a failed or damaged organ (due to illness or injury) surgically with another organ donated by a healthy person. The process of organ transplantation requires many medical tests to know the organ’s suitability for both the donor and the recipient. Therefore, it becomes challenging to find the right partner for the organ transplant. Organ transplants, although a miraculous find, was sadly limited by the timely transport of organs. In scenarios where organ transplant demand exceeds the supply, timely organ transport is essential. Air ambulances play a vital role in such transportation.
This article provided by ICATT gives information about Why is an air ambulance required for organ transplant surgery?
What is an air ambulance?
An air ambulance is a medical transportation unit that can transport organs from one location to where the organ recipient is being treated. Ambulance aircraft are short-range and fixed-wing helicopters for international or domestic use. Air ambulance services are available on call.
What is the role of the air ambulance in organ transplantation?
Finding transplanted organs on your own is quite tricky. If you are lucky enough to find a suitable donor, you certainly don’t want to risk the recipient’s life because of a slowing down of the vehicle. The air ambulance is 100% safe for sensitive organs such as the kidneys and liver. The choice of an air ambulance is essential in the transportation process. It is necessary to ensure that planes and pilots are always on hand and take off on time.
Why is an ambulance needed for organ transplants?
There are several scenarios where ambulance transportation is the only way an organ recipient can successfully reach the transplant facility from home on time.
ICATT Air Ambulance offers ambulance transportation for organ transplants. When an organ donor dies, there is very little time to remove and transport their organs for transport to the recipient. If this window is pulled out or there is a delay, organs can be lost. This means that patients who have been waiting for these organs remain on the waiting list. If no other matches are found quickly, they can die waiting. Even if a different match is found, a set of missing organs still means a person won’t get the transplant they so desperately need. An average of 20 people dies each day while waiting for the organ transplant list.
When you need to get organs to a recipient fast, you need the proper means of transport. Ground transportation takes a long time. If the body has to travel a considerable distance, this doesn’t seem like an option. Although the distance is not significant, traffic jams or even cool weather can cause life and death for recipients on the organ donation list.
