Critical care Transport is a hospital based, inter-facility transport program for patients in the United States and world
wide that require transport from one medical facility to another. Crtitical Care Transport has been providing medical
transports for over 20 years and has transported over 24,000 patients. Jet aircraft intensive care units provide
top-notch support during long-distance patient transports. For local transports, Critical Care Transport has three mobile
intensive care units that maintain sophisticated, uninterupted ICU care.
Each adult medical transport team is staffed with a Physician, a Registered Nurse, and a Respiratory Therapist, each specially trained in aeromedical physiology. And for neonatal patients requiring transport, a Neonatal Nurse Practictioner and Respiratory Therapist are used to care for the critical neonatal patients.
Critical Care Transport uses three distinct transport teams - Adult, Neonatal, and Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump.
One twin engine jet is available at all times for immediate dispatch with the most appropriate transport team for the patients requirements. A Lear jet is also available for long distance or international transports.
Three large ground mobile intensive care units are available and used for local transports within approximately 125 miles of Birmingham, Alabama.
Critical Care Transport is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Complete arrangements for
bedside to bedside transport, including ground transportation for air trips, are made by the Critical Care Transport Coordinator.
