Unfortunately, this often means that people need medical help and evacuation in places impossible for a conventional ambulance to reach — such as on a mountainside, deep in a forest, or stuck in rush-hour traffic. In these circumstances, air ambulances are called upon to save lives. Loaded with specialized trauma care equipment, advanced medical computers, and highly-skilled crewmembers, these helicopters and aircraft are often the last and best chance for those in need.
