New H145 rescue helicopter starts in Berlin-Buch

modernization in air rescue: The new era of Christoph 100

On January 2, 2024, a significant development came into force in Berlin. The rescue helicopter Christoph 100, operated by the DRF air rescue, experienced a technological progress with the introduction of a modern H145 machine that is equipped with an innovative five-blade rotor that significantly improves the possible uses.

The DRF air rescue, which is considered one of the largest organizations in air rescue in Germany, has set itself the goal of continuously modernizing its fleet. This is not only a technical update, but also a step to optimize the care of patients. With the new model, an increase in efficiency is expected, in particular through the possibility of transporting a larger amount of fuel and overcoming distances faster. "Our top priority is the best possible care for our patients," emphasizes Tim Saueressig, the ward manager. The new technology that enables calmer flying helps to ensure that patients can be brought into medical facilities more safely and faster.

With the implementation of the H145, Christoph 100 is now also used as an intensive care transporter, which increases the flexibility of the operations. In addition to normal emergency operations, the team can now also efficiently transport critical patients who need special medical attention. These developments are of great importance because they not only improve medical care, but also strengthen the trust of the community in the air rescue services.

• Technological improvement: The H145 with a five -blade rotor offers more stability and load -bearing capacity.
• Location Berlin-Buch: Christoph 100 has its base in Berlin-Buch and operates daily from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
• Support by the municipality: The DRF air rescue is dependent on the financial support of its support members.
• Efficiency increase: faster access to emergency supply within a radius of 60 kilometers.

The introduction of the new H145 refers to a broader movement within the air rescue industry, which is continuously striving to introduce technologies that increase safety and efficiency. At a total of 19 stations in Germany, the DRF air rescue has introduced this type of helicopter and thus proves leadership in the air rescue supply in Europe.

Overall, the DRF air rescue in 2023 already made 36,413 missions, an impressive evidence of the need and relevance of its work. With the new technology, the DRF air rescue will not only play an even more committed role in the healthcare system, but will also set an important sign of the future of critical emergency care.
