A paediatric team provides intensive care to infants and new-borns. The repatriation and emergency resuscitation of premature infants, term infants or children with septic shock, cardiogenic shock or respiratory distress thoroughly cared for by Airlec’s specialist team. The medical crew has
access to a full range of onboard equipment, including incubators, paediatric ventilators, multiparameter monitoring, onboard laboratories and electronic station syringes allow for the doctors and nurses to provide the utmost care necessary.
Intensive care
A significant proportion (25%) of patients that we repatriate have a Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) of
less than 7 and require intensive care and life support. Respiratory support is provided on board using the most appropriate ventilation techniques. Hospital acquired multi-resistant bacterial infections are dealt with following strict internal procedures and materials such as an isolation stretcher (BK multiresistant).
Bariatric
Airlec can handle patients up to 370 lbs thanks to the introduction of loading ramps. Airlec uses mechanical and electrical ramps to facilitate the loading of the patient. We can also utilize a cargo door with a width of 92 cm (36 inches) on our Citation II aircraft.

A unit of six doctors and nurses trained for CBRN-E risk has a negative-pressure isolation stretcher and bio-hazard suits. Airlec successfully transferred nearly all European victims of the Ebola virus outbreak of winter 2014-2015, evidence of its strict protocols and professionalism. Decontamination and disinfection procedures meet the highest standards.
