The whole idea is to transport the specialist team in this air ambulance to where it is most needed. Where doctors can stabilize the person and begin intensive care and then take the patient to an escalation centre for tertiary care.
Dr Rahul Singh Sardar, the co-founder of ICATT Health Solutions, has introduced a “track and trigger” approach and through this, they are in touch with all the doctors in the relief camps and to support and monitor critical patients.
They monitor patients very carefully. If the patient does not respond to conventional therapy, then they are taken to the Flying ICU and stabilized before being transferred to Trivandrum or Cochin Hospital.
The intensive care unit is of air ambulance considered as the future of medical emergency care in India, and ICATT plans to train more doctors for the country’s aviation medical services.
This emergency care is the need of the hour in India as air ambulance needs to facilitate medical care at the highways across the country where a lot of people die daily. It’s about time, and things need to change.
The Benefits Of Air Ambulances In Flood Area:
Speed:
ICATT Air Ambulances fly at high speeds and they are the fastest means to transport patients for medical needs. It offers the possibility to bring paramedics to the scene very quickly and to bring patients to the hospital and also get ICU care in flight.
Where this speed comes naturally is the ability of the air ambulance to fly patients directly from the scene to the first care centre so that serious injuries or illnesses can eventually be treated at the earliest possible time.
Access To Remote Areas:
Sometimes patients cannot be reached from the land because of terrains such as wetlands, quiet beaches and bays, or because of environmental factors such as floods and snow.
Although one of the trust vehicles is often more suitable for patients with minor injuries, an air ambulance can be considered to reach the patient.
Specialist Aircrew Skills:
Medics working in air ambulances are highly experienced and skilled. This trust works with developing knowledge and skills of the crew to meet the needs of patients.
The clinical scope of crew practice continues to expand to ensure that patients are supported in who are seriously ill or injured.
ICATT Air Ambulance Pre clinical objectives in emergencies:
- To obtain clinical skills appropriate for those affected
- Provide adequate care

It is essential to manage this process as part of a comprehensive emergency response. It is best achieved through experienced emergency management skills in front of the hospital and offered by ICATT on-site air ambulance service.
