University of Utah AirMed

AirMed was established in 1978 as the eighth air medical transport program in the nation. We transports trauma, burn, medical, pediatric, neonatal, high-risk OB patients, intra-aortic balloon pump, impella, and ECMO patients to any facility 24 hours a day utilizing six helicopters and two airplanes placed throughout northern Utah and Wyoming. We use the most state-of-the-art equipment available, which includes digital capnography, invasive line management, and intra-aortic balloon pumps, ECMO devices, video laryngoscopes, advanced portable ventilators, and a variety of adjuncts for securing difficult or complex airways.

Although aircraft and uniforms have evolved over the years, the mission has stayed the same: “At AirMed we are committed to our mission of delivering the highest quality of care to our patients and will continue to strive for excellence in every aspect of our profession.”
