EC130 medical interior experiences & comments

[David Ellis]

I flew in an EC-130 for about a year.  Medically, it was fantastic.  We had the Air Methods interior, which allowed true full-body access to the patient.  We could easily intubate, start lines, peripheral IOs, etc in flight.  It was certainly easier to work in than, say an EC-135, and far better than an A-star.  As far as medical capabilities, it's probably the best bang for your buck.
