EMERGENCY PATIENT TRANSPORTATION
INTRODUCTION
Critical patients are patients who have experienced life-threatening injuries
or diseases associated with decreased or insufficient physiological
reserves.
Transport of critical patients has risks so that services are needed to be
provided by competent officers .
Safe transportation for critical patients :
- Requires accurate examination and stabilization of the patient prior to
transport
- Proper transportation planning and optimal use of communications
- Requires proper officers ( skills And training )
- Adequate tools
- Effective relationship between referrals , transport and reception
officers at the top level
Critical Patient Transportation Category
Transport in critical patients is divided into:
1. Prehospital transportation
Namely the transportation of critical patients from the place of
trauma or illness to the hospital. Ambulance staff and emergency room
staff.
2. Interhospital transportation
It could be 2 things namely,
1. Emergency interhospital transport
is needed because there are inadequate diagnostic tools, lack of
staff or facilities for safe and effective therapy while in hospital
referrals
2. Semi-emergency interhospital transport.
That is the transportation of critical patients to a higher level of care
to get special services
3. Intrahospital transportation
Namely the transportation of critical patients from one area of the
hospital to another area of the hospital .
Transportation Models
, Siti Musalama (J210190238)
The choice of transportation by vehicle is influenced by:
1. Natural process of disease
2. Possible clinical effects of the transport environment
3. urgent intervention _
4. Patient location
5. Distance
6. The number of referring officers and the completeness of the tools
7. Road conditions and transportation times
8. Weather conditions and restrictions flight or air transportation
9. Landing facilities for air transport
10. Availability of resources adequate at the time of referral
11. familiarity and training for referral officers in proper transportation
12. Lack of sluggish medical personnel and transportation teams
Requirements required for transportation by vehicle
1. Patient and staff safety
2. Adequate space for patient access and for providing interventions in acute
patients, minimum there must be ready access for the intact head and sides
of the patient
3. Adequacy power and gas for life support systems
4. Adequacy suction
5. Easy access for safe embarkation and disembarkation
6. Adequacy lighting and internal temperature control
7. Restraints for stretchers , tools and passengers
8. Noise within normal limits and vibration levels and noise protection for
occupants
9. Adequacy speed and response time
10. Good communication system , both internal and external
11. Monitoring alarms patient's hearing and vision
12. Gravity resistance of liquid droplets
Air transport
Air transport needs to move patients and flight crew who have special risks,
