Good question. I am not sure but I think it is fair to say considerably more.
I assume you have a full two man medical crew in addition to the front seat crew?
Yes. 2 Paramedics for accident scene jobs and 1 doctor and 1 nurse for a transfer between hospitals.
If you pick up two patients that demand medical care are you equipped to do that and have that winch operator/front seat guy back in the pilot seat helping?
Yes. We regularly carry 2 or more accident patients and usually only one patient inter hospital.
How do you guys handle multiple casualty operations?
Initially by the 2 Paramedics who are assisted by on scene Ambulance and other emergency services. As stated above this regularly is 2 patients. If required a doctor or additional aircraft are responded.
