Our ambulances are equipped with high-quality rescue equipment, which is essential for monitoring the patient's condition and performing medical rescue actions. Some of the equipment in the ambulance includes a Lifepak 15 or Lifepak 12 cardiac monitor/defibrillator capable of performing full EKG, measuring oxygen saturation (SpO2), measuring exhaled carbon dioxide (EtCO2), and measuring arterial blood pressure (NIBP), as well as performing cardioversion or electrostimulation.

PATIENT TRANSPORT IN A LYING POSITION
Patient transport is usually done on stretchers to provide better comfort and safety during the journey. The stretchers are adjustable in several planes, allowing for adjustments in the inclination of the backrest and bending of the legs at the knee joints. By raising the backrest, the patient assumes a sitting position during the ride, facilitating breathing and enabling observation of the road.
PATIENT TRANSPORT IN A SEATED POSITION
Patient transport is carried out in a 'bed-to-bed' manner, meaning the patient is transferred by ambulance personnel from one bed at point A to another bed at point B. The patient is transferred by the crew, without the need for any effort on their part. Of course, the patient can also be carried up or down stairs if necessary. To navigate stairs while transporting a patient, a caterpillar transport chair is used. Securing the patient with straps ensures safety and a stable sitting position. The caterpillar function provides certainty and smoothness when navigating stairs and also reduces musculoskeletal strain on rescuers.
For safe patient transfer, equipment such as self-loading stretchers, sheet stretchers, or orthopedic boards is used.
TRANSPORTING A PATIENT WITH A SPINAL INJURY
Every MEDYK24 ambulance is equipped with a vacuum mattress, which is used to transport individuals with spinal injuries or other massive fractures. By removing air from the mattress, it conforms to the patient's body shape, providing stability and limiting mobility at the injury site.
