Our hearts are with our Vanderbilt LifeFlight colleagues, their families, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. We are holding all those affected by today’s accident in our thoughts and prayers.

Vanderbilt University Medical Center is deeply saddened to confirm that a Vanderbilt LifeFlight helicopter was involved in an accident this afternoon in Wilson County, TN. Three crew members were on board. Tragically, one crew member lost their life, and two others are in critical condition and receiving care at Vanderbilt University Hospital. No patient was on board at the time of the incident.

Our hearts and deepest sympathies are with our Vanderbilt LifeFlight colleagues, their families, and loved ones during this difficult time.

Introducing the ZOLL AutoPulse NXT ~aka~ our version of the LUCAS device!🫀

When it comes to improving patient outcomes, both devices deliver, but for us at Air Methods, the AutoPulse NXT is the best fit for the unique environment we operate in. With limited space in the aircraft and the critical nature of the patients we transport, the AutoPulse offers the right combination of performance, safety, size, and adaptability for our crews.

✨ Key Benefits of the AutoPulse NXT include:

✅ Consistent, high-quality CPR in flight and on the ground
✅ Hands-free operation allows clinicians to provide other critical patient care
✅ Compact and portable design ideal for aircraft cabin constraints
✅ Improved safety for flight crews during turbulent conditions

Behind the scenes: giving our helicopter flotation system a thorough check to make sure we’re ready for anything - even a water landing. Safety doesn’t take a day off! 🚁🛟

During scheduled maintenance checks, we swap into a spare aircraft so we’re always mission-ready!
