Medical Escort Service
A severely ill patient requires a touch, which is not just caring but also expert in understanding his or her needs. Flying Nurses International offers that precise touch in the form of over 65 critical care and emergency medicine registered nurses who are licensed and actively practice within the United States. With fully trained and experienced staff, Flying Nurses International offers comprehensive medical escort service for anyone who needs a flight nurse to accompany in domestic and international commercial airlines anywhere in the world. Here's a quick lowdown on the medical escort services on offer.
Firstly, all the services are customized, i.e., you pay what you ask us to serve. So, there is complete freedom to choose whatever you like in the form of medical escort service for your loved one. However, we recommend a comprehensive medical escort service from our experienced staff, which will not only save you time and money, but will also ensure a trouble-free air-journey for the patient.
Our flight nurse will secure all the medical clearances for the patient from the hospitals or doctors, provided the patient is declared medically stable and fit to fly. Then comes the negotiations with the ground and in-flight staff of the airlines to facilitate permission for carrying specialized medical equipment, extra oxygen tank, IV fluids, wheel-chair, stretcher, etc. on board so that the patient requirements are adequately met.
After securing all the necessary travel documents, our caring flight nurse takes several precautionary measures to ensure that the patient feel as comfortable as humanly possible. These include reclining the seat to a comfortable position (if the patient is traveling first class and preferably the patient should travel by first class only!), making sure that all battery-operated medical equipments are properly plugged in to avoid any malfunction of these critical devices, installing all the required equipments on the patient's body and at the same time, ensuring that the patient is not under any physical or mental stress, etc.
As part of our medical escort service training, we equip all our RN flight nurses with proficiency in at least one language other than English. This knowledge plays a vital role in exactly understanding what the patient is trying to convey, if he or she cannot communicate in English but a foreign language. Moreover, the second language also helps in assisting the flight crew with translation in-flight to effectively convey the needs of the patient.
