For the purposes of CCT, 'critical care' is initiated in the hospital, parameters for management are set there and the patient isn't going to get any more stable during transport. A 911 call is not that. Presumably, when a critical patient is being transferred, he's been the subject of a...

IV pumps/portable vents nowadays are so compact and user friendly, any service with a 30 minute (or so) travel time to the hospital prolly has them, or should....not an either/or thing...
