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 worked delivering supplying oxygen to Boston med , last year . I helped unknowingly to help your family member by making sure they always have oxygen in stock , I’m glad everything worked out
nice to have someone who actaully knows how things are used vs someone just videoing truck itself. great job
I'm so glad I found your channel. I've seen tons of emergency vehicle tours, but NEVER one as detailed as this. Thank you.
One of the best review videos I've seen on TH-cam! (Granted, I'm a bit biased because I've worked communications for MedFlight for a decade, and I've been an EMT or medic since 1992.) I'm glad you got to visit Plymouth after they redid the hangar. Thank you for doing both of your MedFlight videos and sharing them with everyone!
Glad you enjoyed it!
We see you guys. I always tell them that's Boston medflight saving another person when in the parking lot or at the beach. We see you.
Whoo! Close to my home and a place I love to spend time in. Love the tour of the vehicle. That chassis and what was done with the systems is almost mind blowing! So much thought was put into what was needed and how to get them installed in the right place where they are needed.
Also, gotta love a 6-way from Sunday seat. That's one of those little things that are pretty important.
Lifeline Emergency Vehicles makes these ambulances. Fantastic company..
love your vids bruv, seriously enjoy listening to you........i LOVE people with true kind hearts
I love your new ambulance.Beautiful .
Thank you for the tour of the rig worcester mass just got a big rig just like Boston mass big rig
I’m a critical care physician. You have lot of tools that are not readily placed by the personnel you mentioned who staff that unit. Such as a TVP and ECMO canulation. Do you ever have physicians staffing, as well?
They do, fairly regularly.
The treatments and gear usually isn't placed by the staff, just managed
You clearly aren’t a real physician because all mobile unit like this are staffed by paramedics and nurses whose skill set can readily preform the functions needed on the unit . Any real physician knows their skill set is well in line with this. It’s a national standard
@@jozymoralesthe treatments and gear are definitely placed by the staff otherwise it wouldn’t be there
@@Thejeweler101 boston medflight isn't cannulating patients for ecmo
Fascinating rig; thanks for the tour!
Awesome video !
I don't knowy ass from my elbow when it comes to medical. I just think it's a cool rig.
BOSTON MENTIONED! Very cool trucks!
You great job showing the cool big rig
first time viewer, and i gotta say from what i can see thats one bad ass piece of art on that arm there!
A lifetime of work for sure! 🤙
I live in Mansfield, MA and we have a Boston MedFlight critical care base near where I live which is nice. We see the helicopter a lot because the airport is 5 mins away. Grateful to have them nearby in case we need them.
@@milesra22, unfortunately, they may not always be there if you need them. We’re coming up to the time of year when the pilots decline a fair amount of flights due to the weather.
Awesome videos man. You’re killing it!
Also, what a location, right across from Fenway Park!!
@@stevenrogers4663 well, our bases at the moment, are at Lawrence Airport, Hanscom Field (Bedford), Mansfield Airport and Plymouth Airport. Our helicopters occasionally fly over the Charles River in Boston, and sometimes drift close enough to Fenway for some really cool shots. We don’t have any bases nearby. The Longwood Medical area (BI-Deaconess Medical Center, Brigham & Women’s, Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School) will bring our ground trucks nearby, also.

I thought it was a requirement that the clock in the back of the rig doesn't tell the correct time?

TheJeepMedic • 3y
Page 1946, section 42, subsection 38, paragraph 9 of the 1958 Confrence of Private Ambulances states: When placing a clock, timer, stopwatch or other timekeeping device withing the patient care compartment (herein referred to as a "clock"), one must ensure that the end user is incapable of adjusting the clock or otherwise make it usable.
Furthermore, it is strongly recommended that a clock be set 17.32 minutes ahead or behind the current local time. Services shall ensure that properly setting the clock and ensuring it is usable is part of the required pre-shift checklist priority re pease mute the as on ed urihi
completion of any checklist. SEE: Dispatching
Crews Before They Clock In
OMG. lol!
What is the point of this?
And that any device that has a warning buzzer shall have a mute button located in a secret location.
All the new equipment until the mini med pump. I remember when they first came out. Great pumps, it's amazing they are still being supported as many names that have been on them. Loved the Propaq! Much better for its size than Lifepak. MICU transport, Best nursing job of my career!
Bruh the emt gonna need a cdl before even applying for the position 😂
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! My comment is NOT knocking the ambulance, just my own curiosity on why things are done a certain way.
Hi from Plymouth uk! i just found your channel, you have earned a new subscriber. Channel is awesome and i look forward to catching up on your previous videos and watching future ones :)
Welcome aboard!
Hey I remember I met you in Cincinnati and God spoke through me about you that you just came from Alaska
I remember. 🤙
In my agency we use liquid spring suspension which allows the back of the ambulance to lower when we need to load the stretcher.
I think it soon will be feasible to put a miniaturized CT scanner in designated trauma ambulances.
have you done a light demo on one of these. would be great to see the system changing the lights from blue/red to green
Someone should tell them that those caps on the airhorns inhibit the sound of the airhorns. They’re not supposed to stay on there after they take delivery.
we have something like that in tennessee with Vanderbilt University lifeflight
You referred to the truck's 12V power system; is it actually 12V or as with many commercial chassis 24V?
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.
Come to south florida, those are the only ambulances (Rescues) your gonna see
Shands has two MICU/Stroke units! I see them evertime I'm over there 😊 I don't really know how they're deployed but I see them all the time.
Can you please do a video on the Boston med flight citation jet?
Impressive Rig!!!
Nice... Wait until you get the bill, that alone will do you in...
Well, if you are ALIVE to pay it....
Our patients rarely see one once it’s been through insurance. We’re a private, nonprofit; other providers aren’t.
LOL... The Med System III. "If you're a pro, you'll be fine"...As long as you do not press the service button... And you have to prime the tubing correctly.... I find it ironic that they have not upgraded their pumps. But then again, I cannot find any other multi channel pump that is certified for air use. I am sure they swap these out with their aircraft...
😂😂
I do not know of another multichannel pump like this. If someone does lmk
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.
I drive for Life Flight and am living the new truck!
@@CondorTheBird Always appreciate you guys. I fly for ALERT out of Montana and you guys are our favorite ambulance/crew that picks us up anywhere.
4:28 I know the the sign is saying no open flame, like "no matches," but I can’t help to think that it was also purposely designed to infer "no tweakers"
this is the kind of unit that rolls in pres motorcades too
Their helicopter actually lands at a big parking lot really close to my house
Great truck, but why does it not have any high visibility markings?
Much of the graphics on the trucks are reflective, but not all.
Yep, the bill is probably half the whole payment of a new car.
actually its around x5 or 6 of that
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 are not.
Top Notch Boston Med Flight!!
Come see us at SkyHealth 2!!
Is that the sister helo in Connecticut out of Newhaven? Or a different SkyHealth?
@@TheDrMedic were the sister ship.
Hey, if you ever go to Stockholm, Sweden I would love to show you our MICU. Larger and better than this. ;)
The name of the game is redundancy.
do they have ultrasound?
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.
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.
That EMT must have the cushiest job ever just driving everywhere.
WRONG!!!! I applied for one of these jobs in my area a few years back. 24 hour shifts at $16 an hour. Everyone on the crew gets to hang out in a dorm style room with bedrooms, a small kitchen, TV sitting room EXCEPT the EMT driver. I was told the position has to stay awake for the entire 24 hour shift working on projects. You also are responsible for cleaning the whole rig after the run while the crew heads off to bed. I didn't understand the philosophy or the safety behind this but theoretically you could be up for 20 hours straight them have to drive 6 hours in a blinding snow storm on zero rest. I bailed on that interview pretty quick.
Totally different to Australian Critical care ambulances. Here it's "if you're not trained to use all the gear, you don't belong in the truck".
@@coover65 They use the EMT to help with lifting and driving, someone HAS to drive, and that doesn't need to be an RN or medic.
The EMTs also are involved with patient care. Our shifts are “only” 12-hour shifts. They have access to everything the nurses, medics and pilots do at our bases, including beds and kitchens.
IFT life lol jk
Diesel exhaust fluid is just as gay as headlight fluid..
Trash waste of money
Not if you need critical care transportation. And patients rarely see a bill from us.
hey brother it was great to meet u yester day u look so beautiful in person ha ha ha vary good thx
