Rapid-response ICU air ambulance for heart attack, post-arrest, CABG and critical cardiac patients from Dhaka to Bumrungrad International Hospital Bangkok — doctor-led, fully monitored and available 24/7.
What is a cardiac emergency air ambulance? A dedicated ICU-equipped charter jet that transfers heart patients from Dhaka to Bangkok under continuous critical care. The aircraft carries a full cardiac monitoring and life-support setup — transport ventilator, defibrillator, multi-parameter ECG monitor, infusion pumps and cardiac drugs — staffed by a flight doctor trained in advanced cardiac life support. Costs vary by aircraft type and crew needs — see our air ambulance cost guide for details. Patients are treated at Bumrungrad International Hospital in Bangkok. This service requires the full ICU air ambulance package and takes approximately 3–5 hours end-to-end through our coordinated transfer process.
A heart attack, unstable angina, post-CABG complication or cardiac arrest does not wait. When a patient's condition exceeds what local facilities can manage, the safest option is an urgent transfer to a world-class cardiac centre — and the only way to move a haemodynamically unstable patient is inside a flying ICU with a dedicated cardiac team.
Our air ambulance is fitted with a multi-parameter monitor that tracks ECG rhythm, ST-segment changes, invasive blood pressure, oxygen saturation and capnography continuously. The flight doctor interprets these in real time and can intervene immediately — something no commercial flight can offer a cardiac patient in distress.
IV inotropic support, antiarrhythmic infusions, vasopressors and sedation can be administered throughout the flight. The aircraft carries a defibrillator with external pacing and, for the most critical cases, intra-aortic balloon pump support — all managed by a physician trained in advanced cardiac life support (ACLS).
We coordinate every cardiac transfer with Bumrungrad International Hospital's Heart Institute in Bangkok. Their 24/7 interventional cardiology team, cardiac catheterisation labs and cardiothoracic surgical unit are pre-alerted before departure, ensuring that the patient moves from our ICU stretcher straight to their cardiac ICU with zero handoff delay.
From the ICU bed in Dhaka to the cardiac unit at Bumrungrad, the patient never leaves monitored care. Our ground ambulance collects from the sending hospital, rampside transfer to the aircraft, flight under full monitoring, then second ground ambulance to Bangkok — one seamless chain managed entirely by our team.
A cardiac emergency air ambulance is a dedicated charter jet configured as a flying intensive care unit, specifically equipped to manage heart patients during transfer from Dhaka to Bangkok. It carries advanced cardiac monitoring, defibrillation, pacing, IV infusion pumps and a full drug box, staffed by a critical-care flight doctor with ACLS training. This service is designed for patients with acute coronary syndrome, post-cardiac arrest, heart failure exacerbation, post-CABG complications, or those needing urgent interventional cardiology at Bumrungrad International Hospital.
The cost depends on aircraft type, medical crew size, equipment requirements (such as IABP or nitric oxide), and urgency. Transparent, itemised quotes are provided after reviewing the patient's cardiac reports. Visit our air ambulance cost page for a detailed breakdown of what influences pricing for cardiac transfers.
