Medical Transportation History – Part 2

The makeup of the medical  crew staffing an air ambulance varies depending on country, area, service provider, and type of air ambulance.  Services with a primary focus on critical care are more likely to be staffed by physicians, nurses, and paramedics with five years or more of specially-trained advanced care, the objective being rapid delivery of definitive care.   Some air ambulance operations have full-time, on-site medical directors with emergency medicine backgrounds, as with MedTransportCenter.com.    Dr. Kenneth Kreye MD. FACEP  is board certified in Emergency Medicine and has 24 years experience in Aviation Medicine flying and transporting over 500 patients per year since 1983.  Dr. Kreye oversees all transports and himself provides in-flight medical care. 

Dr. Kreye is the  medical advisor for Angel Flight of America since 1996 and advises hospital physicians across the USA on flight physiology, oxygen  and patient  requirements for in-flight medical care.

Dr. Kreye is also the medical advisor for Care Trans Non-profit Charity non-emergency long distance ground medical transportation. 

In addition, Dr. Kreye provides consultation  for travel insurance / travel  assistance companies.
