Life Guard International, also known as Flying ICU, is a Nevada Air Medical Transportation Service that performs 24/7 emergency and non-emergency air medical transports, regionally, nationally and internationally. Life Guard Int'l - Flying ICU is licensed by multiple U.S. health districts and is accredited by CAMTS - The Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Services. CAMTS accreditation is a symbol of excellence in the air medical transportation industry, as it requires providers to maintain the most stringent levels of aviation and medical safety and service over and above state licensing requirements. Our professionally managed pressurized-two-engine-aircraft are always operated by experienced two-pilot crews. The medical team consists of an experienced critical care flight nurse (EMS-RN) and a flight paramedic. The aircraft are equipped with medical supplies & equipment similar to a hospital intensive care unit including monitors, defibrillators, ventilators, infusion pumps, and a variety of comfort and lifesaving medications. Because exposure to factors unique to air transport adds to the stressors of the patient's illness or injury, our team operates at a critical care level, ensuring preparedness for any unforeseen in-flight changes in patient's condition.
