SOS Ambulances
 For
the safe and state-of-art patient transportation, SOS Hungary maintains
two types of ambulances: for long-distance patient transportation and for
emergency purposes. Both types of ambulances are appropriately equipped,
safe and comfortable, and air-conditioned. The SOS ambulance-crew is
well-trained and licensed doctors, nurses, ambulancemen, and drivers. The
postgraduate training is regularly checked and monitored by the medical
director.
 1.
Ambulance for transportation of critically ill patient. We use
for the critically ill patients’ transportation a well equipped ambulance
( ECG, monitor, defibrillator, oxygen, intubation kit, advanced life
support devices and medicines, etc.), where a large scale of medical
intervention could be performed during the transportation. This kind of
ambulances are equipped with
MICU-level medical devices.
 2.
Ambulance for long-distance transportation. One of the most
frequent assistance tasks of SOS-Hungary is the medical evacuation by
ground ambulance. Our purpose-built ambulance can transport the patients
even for long haul. The patient cabin has room enough for the doctor and
also for one of family member, moreover some place for their luggage. If
we prepare our ambulances for the long distance transportation, besides
the necessary
medical equipment for the long distance travel, some food
and drink has been reserved in the portable refrigerator too. Even a
portable DVD player and audio devices help to „enjoy” the long travel time!
 The
ambulances are equipped with all the comforts, which is necessary for the
transportation among various weather conditions. Three kinds of heating (
warm-up, stand by and regular ) and the air condition system ( both for the
patient-cabin and for driver ) plus a roof-ventilation system take care
of the nice environment in the chassis, among various weather conditions.
There is possibility to transport infants, too. For this purpose you can
find not only some toys in the rack, but a special warming-up device is
for the feeding bottle.
Special design of purpose-built
ambulances of SOS
The ambulances have a state-of-the art ambulance
chassis. The floor and the walls are covered by antistatic rubber and
plastic. The large room and the ergonomically planned interior shows
our devotion to the maximal safety and comfort of the patient. The door
between the driver’s and patient cabin ensures a free and prompt
communication between the crew and the travelers. |
