Hi all question for the group,
Can anyone help
me with your states jurisditional requirements regarding fixed wing flight
personnel operating in the back of an ambulance while transporting from the
aircraft to the receiving facility.
Quite often patients are transported from
state to state, when a flight crew arrives to pick up a
patient whether it be in their base state or out of state, the ground
unit that is sent is either BLS or ALS. My question is if a BLS unit
is sent to pick up or the crew or patient requiring ALS care, what
guidelines are there state by state for flight crews to operate in the back of
another states ambulance or do we need to have ALS units pick us up for transfer
of our patients to the receiving facility.
Thanks
