Ventilator
The intensive-care ventilator helps patients breathe when they cannot do so themselves. -
Zoll monitor
Continuously monitors a patient's heart rhythm and can provide shocks if necessary to restore a regular heartbeat. Most patients are attached to the Zoll Monitor and their vitals are tracked throughout the flight. -
Incubator
The tiniest patients fly in the incubator provided by Wellington NICU to and from specialist care around the country. Babies as young as 24 weeks and a few hundred grams are placed in the incubator for safe passage.
