The Roma-based LifeFlight Surat Gas Aeromedical Service (SGAS) aeromedical crew today airlifted a woman after a horse fall.
The LifeFlight helicopter was tasked at 9.10am by Retrieval Services Queensland to a rural property in the Maranoa region and landed near the scene.
The critical care LifeFlight doctor and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) flight paramedic worked with local QAS paramedics to treat the patient in her 60s for a shoulder injury and suspected head injury.
The patient was airlifted to Roma Airport and transported to Roma Hospital for further treatment.
Tasked by Queensland Ambulance Service, the LifeFlight SGAS helicopter and crew performed this mission as part of the SGAS partners’ commitment to providing community aeromedical coverage.
