Cardiac monitoring, defibrillator, pacing
Our aircraft are equipped with Physio Control Lifepak 15 cardiac monitors, which are equipped with defibrillation capabilities, 12 Lead ECG, external pacing. They monitor SpO2, Carbon Monoxide and Methemoglobin, and include a metronome to guide CPR compressions and ventilations.


Full resuscitation capabilities
Along with the medical equipment to aid in cardiac resuscitation, our medical teams are equipped with the skills to intervene in the event of an on-board medical emergency. All flight crew are ACLS, PALS, NRP certified. In addition, emergency ALS medications are also on board and accompany the medical team and patient throughout the transfer.
In flight laboratory monitoring
Point of Care laboratory testing is available on board. ISTAT is an advanced, handheld blood analyzer that provides real-time, lab-quality results within minutes to accelerate the patient care decision-making process. Laboratory testing includes Chem-8, Arterial Blood Gases, and Cardiac Markers.Oxygen and ventilator management
Our flights are equipped with medical oxygen from VitalAire, an AirLiquide subsidiary. Patient transport planning includes the calculation of oxygen for the flight including reserve oxygen. We use Hamilton T1 ventilators, internationally recognized as one of the best intensive care transport ventilators. It allows for
- a choice of ventilation modes for invasive and optionally non-invasive ventilation
- an extensive monitoring package
- the ability to ventilate both pediatric and adult patients
- automatic compensation of changes in barometric pressures
Multiple medications, IV drips
As we are unable to carry a complete pharmacy on board with us, we have determined a standard list of medications suitable for many patient diagnoses, both in intravenous form and a limited number in pill form, and we adjust based on patient diagnosis. Should a patient require specialized medication that is not carried we obtain the medication prior to transport. We carry the following: Intravenous fluids, ACLS drugs, cardiac medications, respiratory inhaled medications, gastro intestinal medications, antibiotics, sedation narcotics.Neonatal patient transport
Our aircraft are equipped with the Dräger TI500 Globe-Trotter® Neonatal Transport System, with integrated ventilation support, internal O2 tank storage, auxiliary flow meter and more. It is the incubator of choice for Canadian hospital neonatal transport teams.
Nutritional support
Once we have completed our preflight medical assessment and determine the nutritional needs of the patient, we will arrange catering. There are some conditions where we deem it would be unsafe to feed the patient during the flight due to a risk of aspiration, we will have the discussion with the patient, if possible, or family and transferring hospital team. Alternate hydration interventions will be made.Cardiac monitoring, defibrillator, pacing
