My coworkers sister owes BMF and this ambulance crew her life. Last year this ambulance was dispatched to cape cod for an emergent transport to Boston. She has a torn aortic and was unresponsive. Patients need to be stable or at least breathing for a helicopter right so medflight air was out. BMF crit amb transported from a cape hospital completed the complicated transfer and kept her alive for over 1 hour on the lucas, right into surgery at Boston. The additional manpower sent by BMF and the crews that worked hard with arguably a low single digit percentage of survivability successfully saved her live and now shes home recovered fully with her children.

I was a medic in the wrong era. When I left the military, I opted to work in Alabama. We carried a drug box with 13 drugs in it(no controls at all). This was around 2000. I moonlighted driving the UAB Critical care truck, which was a Type 4 like this, but nowhere near this technology. You also didn't have the availability of a helicopter if you were outside the 60 mile radius or Huntsville, B'ham or Mobile. Even then, you were limited because Lifesaver, at the time, only flew Bell 206LR's. There were still rural FDs that didn't have Hurst tools. They flew a CC nurse and a trauma doctor from the level 1, so they did do some advanced stuff if they had to(which is probably nothing, today). If for no other reason, our skills were on point because we only had us to depend on. Thanks for the excellent video.

@TheDrMedic I know. If I had picked MD or NY to come back to, I would have had more stuff. But doing it there, improved my skills. I was it sometimes for an hour+ code 3 transport to the nearest facility. My partner and I extracted a guy from an overturned semi with 2 sizzor jacks(one belonged to a Trooper directing traffic) and a crowbar. His arm was pinned under the A post of the semi. He lost his arm but was happy he lived. No fire department (there was no fire) and the closest Hurst Tool was an hour away. This was on the AL, MS border in Pickens County. Then it was almost 1.5 hours to the Level II in Tuscaloosa. I was only 26 then.

I absolutely agree the EMT drivers are a critical part of the team. Where I work, it is often just a CCP or RN with an EMT. Dual provider crews are rare due to budgets, and we make the best of it. They have to be my helper if things go sideways, particularly because my service is in a rural area, and divert hospitals are infrequent. Our EMT's receive the same critical care pay bump the CCP/RN's do.

I always thought a freight liner is over kill. They are hard to turn. Top heavy. But then again what ambulance isn’t top heavy? And then I always wonder if they ever turned a medium size RV into an ambulance. I know they have the big RV/bus command centers. The Red Cross has blood donating buses. But taking a 20 foot RV (not counting the cab) could really make a nice ambulance I think. Anyways, awesome video, amazing ambulance!

I did a lot of critical care transports in my EMS days, then when I went and started working in the hospital I did critical Care transports from ER to ER or ER to a level one trauma center, I always would check the ambulance to make sure I had a full H cylinder of '02 then I made sure the air compressor work so I had air to run ventilators and things of that nature. And the third thing I always made sure the inverters work because we always needed electricity. And some of these transports would take 2 hours maybe 3 hours and that's driving at speeds exceeding the speed limit with red lights and sirens sometimes with state police escort. Where I lived it would be foggy sometimes and the helicopters couldn't come in if they can't see the ground they're not going to land and the fog would be right at the level or hospital would be at 500 ft above it was clear as a bill but can't see the ground helicopter don't land. Nowadays I guess they'll use GPS and they can do an ILS landing at your helipad at the hospitals I guess but they won't do it in the middle of a field somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

I'm surprised that they actually use DEF considering that the national fire protection association has stated that anything that can hinder the performance of a emergency vehicle law enforcement firefighting ambulances have put a recommendation out. That says you do not have to use that kind of stuff and a lot of departments, especially the ones that I have been on. They deleted their trucks or they just made sure they got rid of those vehicles altogether especially when they have caused issues, and there have been problems with vehicles operating correctly and for some reason, we had a deaf shortage one year and it was pretty bad and we weren't able to use some of our vehicles due to that. And they completely just eliminated all that bypassed. Everything and very rarely. Will you see any vehicles in my area with DEF unless it's in the bigger cities or they just are available. But a lot of departments throughout my state are kind of getting away from that. And if nobody's ever experienced what it's like for a vehicle to run out of DEF or even gets low. Your vehicle will only go about 10 to 15 miles per hour if at all. And it will not function properly once you do get it filled, it can mess up a lot of things within the engine and sometimes certain engines when they get shut down due to performance issues. Sometimes they have to go into the shop. And get reprogrammed, and that's just absurd. But I get out of East. They have a lot of democratic laws and liberal and socialist and communistic laws so i kind of understand how those vehicles might be mandated to have them possibly. But when federal government says Hey, you know what? Take care of your vehicles properly. Then maybe right should overrule. Anything and people should think twice about using that kind of system although the rest of the vehicle that is absolutely amazing vehicle. I've never seen anything quite like that and probably never will in never see these in my Districts. There is no way that we could even afford anything like that. Let alone do we have a use for something like that? We have multiple. Air life agencies located from 3 different states in my area. Considering we are on the borders of 3 different states and my state also borders one of the corners of the. Four corners which is only a few hours away from us. We would definitely not have the funding for anything like this if we need a life support from back. We are calling in helicopters from the closest area, whether that's vegas, california or if they have some in our jurisdiction available. And then we also have state police that have helicopters that are also equipped for air rescue. And once in a great while C H P will come out with a helicopter as well and they will just transport them over to vegas. I think we have more helicopters that can assist, then we do ambulances 😂 it just depends on where they have to come from. And sometimes we just gotta get them aboard an ambulance and start going and intercept the helicopter. That is our critical care system 😂

Liquid can't be compressed, but liquid can compress other things that are compressible. Think of two syringes filled with water connected together by a tube, when you press down on one the other one is going to expand. Well if you have a spring pushing down depressing the other syringe, you have a hydrolically seperated suspension system like is used in these vehicles.

So please dont take that as criticism, lets be lack of knowledge on my side: when this oversized, and heavy equipped vehicle ist the best on the market, why its not used in the rest of the world? My thirst thought is maybe wrong, but for me it looked like the american sort of "the bigger, the better". But would it be better to have a smaller, more agile vehicle, which uses a smaller motor and less fuel, which can be faster at the patient. Furthermore the price must be astonishing, wouldnt it be better having 3 regular ambulances instead of 2 of these running hospitals? This just fits the image over the exploding medical costs in the US. Please dont be offended I just have questions, I just have doubts. Nevertheless I'm always thankful for people serving such crucial support!

This isn't an ambulance in the normal sense of the word, this thing isn't going to be first on scene, it allows front line crews to call on a portable hospital to stabilize critically ill patients who would not survive a trip in a regular ambulance. Something like this only makes sense in a densely populated area with a rich area. Different areas have different ways of delivering care like this.

@a99117733 you mentioned the reason, that this is a densely populated and a wealthy area isn't valid, as there are other densely populated rich areas, who dont have such vehicles. The only one left argument is that in these other areas, people die due to the lack of such vehicles. That maybe reasonable, but I still dont believe it. Most of the additional equipment can be equipped on a regular ambulance on request. There is no need to drive the whole thing always around. I still see some american "the bigger, the better" ideoology, and adding thereby a lot of costs for a very low added value.

Probably a dumb question, but I've been out of the business a long time. How long are the blood products(blood, pac cells, plasma) good for? How often to they have to switch them out?

Ive ridden in Life Flight Network's Freightliner which is very similar to BMFs. Definitely a great place to provide critical care if your agency can afford it.

On the trucks and helicopters, I don’t believe we do, but the crews can ask for someone from the hospitals to do it before transportation. Scene calls would be different.

Patients, themselves, rarely get a bill. MedFlight works with their insurance, then writes off the rest. We (MedFlight) are a private, nonprofit company. Other providers might be, though.

The critical care ambulance sounds like the European model: Begin work on the patient immediately. Very different from the US concept of "stabilize and transport."

We have critical care ambulances in Australia too. Depending on which state you're in, you'll either have a critical care paramedic crew or a single responding critical care paramedic backing up advanced care paramedics.

This is an ambulance meant to do critical care transport from one hospital to another, this is not a 911 type ambulance! We have some hospitals in the US that are just small critical access hospitals meant to just do immediate treatment, but not continued care and treatment for someone who is critically ill, thus the BMF teams takes them from those hospitals to tertiary care hospitals where they can continue to get more advanced care.

We (MedFlight) works with the sending hospital staff to treat and stabilize before transport. It probably is a bit different than you’re used to.

Huh, I did not know that you give 0 + blood in emergencies. I live in Austria and over here 0 - is still commonly used, but we are a rather small country :D guess I´m gonna get myself a 0- bracelet or something if I ever visit the US, just in case lol
