Critical-Care Cabin

A flying intensive-care unit, built in

The Avectra 101 is engineered so that critical care can begin long before the hospital. We build the cabin and the connectivity; operators bring the clinical team.

Designed around the patient

The cabin is the point, not an afterthought

On most air ambulances the medical interior is fitted into whatever space a general-purpose helicopter left behind. On the Avectra 101 the critical-care cabin is part of the original design, laid out with clinicians so a crew can actually deliver advanced care in flight.

  • Stretcher-configured, with clear access to the patient from head and side.
  • Secure mounting for monitors, ventilators and infusion pumps.
  • Medical oxygen, power and lighting provisioned for intensive care.

Built-in capability

What the aircraft makes possible

Telemedicine-ready

Connectivity, power and data wiring so operators can keep a specialist linked to the crew and patient throughout a mission.

Advanced intervention

Space and provisioning for emergency anaesthesia, surgical airway, transfusion and haemorrhage control in the air.

Integrated monitoring

Cabin systems designed to stream physiological data, so a remote specialist can support decisions in real time.

Ready for handover

Built to support a live patient picture ahead of arrival, so the receiving hospital can prepare the right team.

Why we build for this

The early minutes decide outcomes

The evidence for early, expert intervention is overwhelming. It is the reason we engineer critical-care capability and telemedicine readiness into the airframe rather than leaving them to chance.

Answers

Critical-care cabin, FAQs

Does Aurenda provide the medical care?
No. Aurenda builds the aircraft and its critical-care cabin. The clinical care is delivered by the operators, air ambulance charities, health systems and providers who fly the aircraft. We equip them to deliver the best possible care in the air.
What is the cabin equipped for?
The Avectra 101 cabin is stretcher-configured and engineered as a mobile intensive-care environment, with secure mounting and provisioning for monitoring, ventilation, infusion, transfusion and advanced airway management, plus the space for a crew to work in flight.
What does 'telemedicine-ready' mean?
The aircraft is built with the wiring, power and connectivity so operators can run a real-time telemedicine link, streaming physiological data and audio or video to a remote specialist. Aurenda provides the capability in the airframe; the operator runs the clinical service.
