Standards
Standards have been developed to guide both individuals or organisations seeking to improve the quality of air medical transport.
The standards offer a guide to encourage optimal clinical and operational practice as well as uniformity and inter-operability wherever that will provide a benefit.

3.3 Medical power
Principles
Because air medical transport frequently interfaces with ground transport, it is desirable to implement standards for electrical power in the air which are compatible with those in ground vehicles. To this end, a common outlet type is...
