The History of medical air transport can be traced all the way back to the 1700s. During that tine, hot air balloons were used during world war one as a way to evacuate wounded soldiers who needed medical help. The first evidence of a plane being used as an ambulance can be found in the french records and after this, te ability to save lives in battle greated increases.
Helicopters in air transport typically carry 3-4 staff members on board when going to pick up patients. This would include a flight nurse, flight paramedic, and or flight physician. The flight physician is in control when making medical decisions, their word is law. These medical professionals are responsible for keeping the patient alive until they reach the hospital.
