Large Capacity Ambulance Buses
After disasters with large numbers of injured victims, the immediate ability of a government to react in an efficient way with an appropriate amount of rescue forces determines the survival- and long-term outcome of the patients. The special challenge in those disastrous events is to overcome the natural imbalance of available resources and victims seeking help. In addition, the rescue process presents a tremendous logistic problem; treating and transporting numerous patients to admitting hospitals, despite the usual collapse of traffic around a disaster area.
The Mass Casualty Ambulance Bus presents a unique solution to employ a fully equipped mobile clinic with intensive care units and an operating theatre. It makes optimal use of the human resources of Emergency Medical Services and ambulance vehicle capacities.
Large Capacity Ambulance Buses can be deployed as:
1. disaster response Unit
2. Mass Casualty Transport & Treatment Unit
3. Intensive Care Patient Transport Vehicle
4. Mobile Operation Theater
5. Hospital Evacuation Vehicle
6. Emergency Capacity for Hospital ICU
7. Isolation / Quarantine Ward
8. Mobile Hospital / ER
