🌍 International Medical Escort Service: A Life-Saving Journey from Istanbul to Ohio

Medical escort service is one of the most critical components of international patient transfers. Especially for stable patients who still require medical supervision during the flight, this service can be life-saving. Our Istanbul-based professional team recently managed a case that once again demonstrated just how vital this service can be.

🏥 Case Summary: From Teknon Medical Center to Ohio International Medical Escort Service

The patient was receiving intensive care treatment at Teknon Medical Center in Barcelona. Hospitalized due to cellulitis and sepsis resulting from pressure ulcers, the patient also had additional risk factors including hypotension, atrial fibrillation, and chronic kidney disease. After the patient's condition was assessed and deemed fit to fly, the operation plan was initiated.

✈️ How Did the Transfer Process Unfold? International Medical Escort Service

1. The medical team traveled from Istanbul to Barcelona via a commercial flight. Prior to the mission, they received detailed information and medical reports (epicrisis) about the patient and carried all necessary medical equipment.

2. The patient was picked up from Teknon Medical Center and safely transferred onto a stretcher for ground ambulance transport to the airport.

3. The transfer to Ohio, USA was carried out by air ambulance. During the flight, continuous medical supervision was provided, including monitoring, oxygen support, IV medication infusions, and wound care inside the specially equipped aircraft.

4. Upon arrival in Ohio, the patient was successfully handed over to the receiving hospital. The patient's condition remained stable throughout the journey. The case was completed smoothly thanks to multidisciplinary coordination and the experience of the medical escort team.
