MEDUCARE Pediatric Flight Team

The MEDUCARE Pediatric Flight Team is the only dedicated pediatric/neonatal critical care transport service in Charleston, SC and is based out of the Medical University of South Carolina.  The Pediatric Flight Team transports patients throughout the state utilizing a BK-117 helicopter,  fixed wing aircraft, or a mobile intensive care unit.

The team is configured  with a highly trained Registered Nurse,  Registered Respiratory Therapist,  and an Emergency Medical Technican.  We work closely with our communication specialists,  who maintain flight following with the Omniflight pilots to ensure a safe environment for all patients and crew during transport.  Helicpoter flights are available for transports within a 150 mile radius of Charleston, SC but we may transport patients >150 miles pending approval.  Fixed wing services are typically the mode of transport if the patient is > 150 miles.

MEDUCARE supports the following critical care units:

  • Area's only Level I Pediatric Trauma and Pediatric Burn Center
  • The state’s only Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit
  • Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
  • Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
  • ECMO referral institution
