Do medical crews have specialized training?
AEL’s registered nurses average six years of critical care experience. Each is required to have a minimum of 3 years critical care experience. AEL’s paramedics average 10 years of active pre-hospital experience, and are required to have 3 years of experience. All medical crewmembers must be certified in: • Basic Life Support • Advanced CardiacLife Support • Pediatric Advanced Life Support • Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support or Basic Trauma Life Support Air Evac has found that the nurse/paramedic combination works well because each can bring a separate set of skills and experience to the workplace. The pre-hospital background of the paramedic complements the critical care skills of the nurse.
