Subject: Incoming Fixed WIng flight
personnel on ground units
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
