Lufthansa Patient Transport Compartment PTC

Lufthansa Patient Transport Compartment - PTC

Lufthansa Patient Transportation Compartment (PTC) combines the advantage of a Commercial flight with the facility in an Air Ambulance dedicated flight with its state-of-the-art technology – all at an altitude of Thirty thousand feet.

The reasons are many to choose a Patient Transport Compartment - PTC

 

Space - To enable the transportation of critical patients with all Advance life support equipment.

HI Flying support in medical clearance, booking and ticketing of patient relatives.

Up to Forty percent time-saving by using the PTC on scheduled flights

Pretravel assessment of the patient

The patient's fitness for transport is checked before the full PTC costs are incurred

50% lower cost compared to a normal air ambulance.

 

In the Lufthansa PTC, the doctor has access to state-of-the-art medical equipment and supplies – for the best treatment for any clinical status.

 

The spacious dimensions of the PTC provide plenty of room for a patient bed, two seats for the doctor and a Lufthansa "PTC escort", intensive-care medical equipment, all necessary supplies and medicines. 

It is an ICU on a wing.

 

Thus there is enough space to give patients the best possible care, which can be done comfortably even while standing and can include complicated medical treatment. And the bigger the transport unit is, the more pleasant and comfortable the care is – both for the patients and for the medical personnel.

 

Advanced Life support Medical equipment with State-of-the-art medical stretcher and supplies are available to the doctor, such as:

 

Propaq CS

Abbott i-STAT1

13,000 litres of oxygen

Accu-Chek Compact

Zoll M-Series

MCM OT Fresenius

ACCUVAC Rescue

Breas ventilator LTV 1,000 and LTM monitor

Injectomat 2000

Vacuum mattress

 

As many relatives can travel on the Lufthansa flight - a family of 4 to 6 to even 10 relatives has traveled with us which is an added reassurance to the patient.

 

Fly to Most  destinations in World

In an emergency, every minute counts in patient transportation. That is why Lufthansa, as the only airline to do so, offers the PTC solely on scheduled flights which make no stopovers, such as for refueling or for other purposed compared to an Air Ambulance flights which have shorter range and needs to halt multiple times before reaching the final destination.

 

Time comparison between PTC and air ambulance

Compared with air ambulances, the flight with the Lufthansa PTC is up to 50 percent shorter – which makes things much easier for the intensive care patient and the medical personnel. The following table shows a typical example.

 

The PTC timeline

 

The PTC is deployed to and from Frankfurt across the entire Lufthansa intercontinental network and is therefore always just where it’s needed. The entire process of transporting the patient home is completed within just three days: which includes medical clearances, the medical team at origin and flight of the patient to his/her destination home Airport.
