Stanford Medicine Life Flight has upgraded to an H145-D3 to expand in-flight treatment capabilities and improves fast, safe transport of patients in critical condition in Northern California.

 The H145-D3 is fitted with a hospital-grade vital signs monitor, ventilator and up to 12 IV pumps can be attached to interchangeable mounts, allowing equipment to be quickly reconfigured to address any medical scenario. The new aircraft’s larger cabin space means that, in addition to standard equipment like a defibrillator and an ultrasound, it can accommodate specialized medical technology such as ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine), IABP (intra-aortic balloon pump) and Impella (percutaneous heart pump).
