PULMONARY EMERGENCY MEDICAL AIR TRANSPORT
Air Ambulance Services for PULMONARY ISSUES
A medical flight can get you where you need to go when you have a severe lung condition. While regular flights may make breathing hard when traveling with pulmonary disease, medical flights have the necessary equipment to help you stay comfortable. Here's our guide for medical air transport for pulmonary emergencies.
If you need a medical air flight, you can contact REVA to request a flight. We'll help you get to a medical facility that can treat your pulmonary issues. When you know the day you need a flight, you, a case manager or caregiver, can fill out our form to request our services. Our form asks the typical information we need to schedule a flight, such as where you'll be picked up and dropped off, if the flight is per a doctor's order or other information relevant for us to know.
Once our team members receive your request, they'll work with you to accommodate your schedule and health needs for the flight.

SIGNS OF PULMONARY ISSUES
If you're having issues with your lungs, you may need to see a doctor. Here are some signs of pulmonary issues that require emergency medical treatment:
Shortness of breath: If you're struggling to catch your breath, you may have problems with your lungs. Experiencing shortness of breath, even while sitting still, can indicate you may have some pulmonary issues.
Fatigue: When you experience extreme tiredness despite getting plenty of sleep, your health may be a factor. Sometimes when you start having lung issues, you'll feel more tired and sleep all day.
Chronic cough: If you've been coughing consistently for months, it may indicate something is wrong with your lungs. While coughing helps heal your body and clear your airways and throat from irritants, it shouldn't persist for a long time.
Chronic chest pain: Experiencing chest pain without an explanation is a warning sign that something is wrong with your respiratory system. If the pain worsens when you cough or breath in, you'll especially want to seek medical attention.
