agree  Gareth McMillan: Fine for UKE: Also agree with Harald: "German" classical emergency tasks- I assume he means something like the Normandy beach landings?- Didn't know they even had helicopters then.

Intensive care helicopter


Explanation:
It doesn't seem to be a very common expression, but there are Google hits from Australia and the US and it obviously matches perfectly the meaning of the German word, which doesn't refer to classical emergency tasks (road accidents etc.)

... When the intensive care helicopter arrived, Nelson told the victim she was going

Bei der Übersetzung sollte die deutliche Abgrenzung zu \"normalen\" Rettungshubschraubern deutlich werden. Es gibt in Deutschland inzwischen ein Netzwerk an Transportmitteln (sowohl auf der Straße, als auch in der Luft), die vor allem auf den Transport von Intensivpatienten ausgerichtet und deswegen erheblich reichhaltiger und hochwertiger ausgestattet sind, als vergleichbare Rettungsfahrzeuge/-hubschrauber.

Für Gareth: im Vergleich zu Simona habe ich entsprechende Links aufgeführt, aber ja auch ihren Übersetzungsvorschlag unterstützt.
\"Intensive transport helicopter\" trifft den Nagel noch besser auf den Kopf, dafür gibt es aber nur einen einzigen (deutschen) Google-Treffer, sodass \"Intensive care helicopter\" als beste Lösung erscheint.

agree  Textklick: If you want a literal translation. Same chopper though I reckon.

neutral  Gareth McMillan: I see you've adopted "The best translation IMO". Why repeat the answer? It may be an uncommon expression because the Australians only have one, acc. to your pandora hit. ADD: aperfect match would be "intensive transport helicopter".
