Medevac Flights

Whether it is special transport services for relocation purposes or foreign repatriation from a remote area – emergency situations require rapid assistance. We are by your side with air ambulance flights worldwide. For this purpose, we operate with a state-of-the-art fleet with extensive medical equipment. Our medical teams consist of trained intensive care physicians and specialists to provide you with the optimum care before, during and after the flight and until admission to hospital.

The technical equipment for the special transport services is required to fulfil several requirements. In an emergency, nothing should be left to chance. And that’s exactly how things are at Bosphorus Jet. We are equipped with medical equipment for all specialist patient transport services:

• Premature babies and transportation of children
• Bariatric patients
• ECMO patients
• Ventilation over long distances for patients who require intensive care.

We transport patients who are suffering from exceptionally severe infections in our state-of-the-art mobile transport isolation system, the “EpiShuttle”.

For the transportation of patients who are suffering from exceptionally severe infections including COVID-19, we use our state-of-the-art transport isolation system, the “EpiShuttle”. The EpiShuttle is an isolation system with a modular design which is also reusable. It was developed by anaesthetists/intensive care physicians at the University Hospital of Oslo for high-risk applications and for the daily transport of patients with multi-resistant pathogens. The EpiShuttle offers significantly more comfort for patients than other products due to its larger interior, and additional clearance due to its hard plastic hood, its multi-adjustable stretcher and its greater width. The system is also ideal for use over long distances. In the case of infectious patients, the system works with negative pressure: the air is drawn in at the head of the device through a filter system and dissipated at the end of the bed through filters. At the same time, it is also possible to work with overpressure in order to protect patients with weak immune systems.

Disinfection of the EpiShuttle:

After returning from the mission, the entire cabin is nebulised with hydrogen peroxide. The Epishuttle is then unloaded and taken to our decontamination area, where its hood is removed and set to one side. A hydrogen peroxide nebulisation then takes place. All of the belts and fastenings are removed and disinfected. The lower part and the hood are completely wipe-disinfected. Mattresses are replaced. Following the disinfection, swipe samples are taken and analysed. The unit is only reequipped and able to enter use again once this check has been passed.

COVID-19 – protection of patients and crew:

• Strict compliance with our COVID-19 guidelines
• Short-term PCR tests for the entire crew
• Weekly fogging of the ambulance, including all equipment
• Regular ATP swabbing of equipment
• COVID-19 screening form for patients and relatives

International repatriation by air ambulance requires several different components to interlock smoothly. The Bosphorus Jet Medflight team is by your side until the final admission at hospital, ensuring the safe admission at the destination hospital, including the provision of all the patient documentation. Our operational and administrative team will be pleased to assist you with coordinating a hospital admission.

To be certain of providing holistic care all the way through to the destination hospital, we also organise worldwide delivery and collection with professionally-equipped ground ambulances on request. Whether it is on the ground or in the air – our experienced intensive care physicians and nurses give their all for the good of your health.

The evaluation and assessment of the risks prior to a medical operation are a key challenge. At Bosphorus Jet, this is the responsibility of our experienced and qualified medical directors. Every mission is associated with individual challenges. Our key goal is to fly our patients home safely and to admit them to the hospital in a better condition than prior to their departure.
