Salzburg between city and Alps

A hospital in the city has different access than a departure from the surrounding ski area. The route to Germany is checked for weather and traffic congestion. For an early pickup, discharge medication is ready and pain is treated before the first mountain section. Family handles the hotel and winter sports equipment separately.

Frequently asked questions

Often yes, but the form of transport depends on medical stability, distance, documents, route and available guidance. Sometimes a patient can travel with a medical escort on a scheduled flight, while in other cases stretcher transport, ambulance or an air ambulance is required.

Usually diagnosis, medical report, medication, mobility, oxygen requirements, infection status, pain level and destination are needed. Airline medical clearance and fit-to-fly information can also be important during a flight.

Sometimes yes. This depends on the chosen form of transport, medical occupancy, airline rules, available places and the condition of the patient. If family cannot travel, communication can be clearly coordinated along the way.

Air ambulance is mainly considered in case of instability, ventilation, intensive monitoring, high oxygen shortage or when a commercial flight is not medically justified. In stable patients, it is first examined whether a less intensive solution is safe.

This could be at home, but also a hospital, rehabilitation center, residential care institution or other care location. The destination is coordinated in advance so that the transfer takes place safely upon arrival.
