Critical Care Transfers
Rare capability in air ambulance services. We safely transport the most critically ill patients, including ECMO and NICU transfers, with specialized expertise and advanced equipment.
ECMO Transfers
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is one of the most critical and complex medical transports. We specialize in safely transferring ECMO patients with our specialized equipment and highly trained critical care team.
NICU Transfers
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) transfers require exceptional expertise and specialized equipment. Our team is experienced in transporting critically ill newborns with the utmost care and precision.
Historic International ECMO Transfer
We successfully completed one of the rarest medical transports in aviation history—an ECMO patient transfer from Seattle to Mumbai, India. This mission demonstrated our unparalleled capability in managing the most complex critical care scenarios globally.
This achievement distinguishes Acute Air Ambulance as a leader in specialized critical care transport.
