**[Medical Emergency]{.underline}**

This is a life threatening injury or illness. One or more major body
systems (Respiratory, Circulatory, and Neurological) are involved. This
patient needs advanced life support (ALS). Definitive care for this
patient is a Trauma or Burn Center. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! Air
transportation should be considered early.

**[ALS Air Transport]{.underline}**

Other criteria for air medical transport is: lengthy extrication of the
patient from the accident site, terrain or road conditions restrict
ground transportation.

**[Rotor Wing:]{.underline}** Rotor wing air ambulances have a 150 mile
response area based on one fuel cycle. If injury location is outside of
response area helicopter will have to refuel en-route.

**[Fix Wing:]{.underline}** Fix wing air ambulances have a large
response area and fuel is not normally a factor. Consider ordering a fix
wing along with a rotor wing if more than one patient.

**[Definitive Care]{.underline}**

Definitive care is the most appropriate place a patient has to go.
Medical emergencies need to go to trauma centers and burn patients to
burn centers.
