# # # Why Some Critically Ill Patients Need an ICU Ambulance
A standard ambulance may be suitable for stable patients who require basic monitoring and transportation. However, critically ill patients may need a higher level of medical support throughout the journey.
An ICU ambulance transfer may be considered when a patient requires:
• Mechanical ventilation or advanced respiratory support
• Continuous cardiac, oxygen saturation and blood-pressure monitoring
• High-capacity medical oxygen
• Intravenous medication or fluid infusions
• Syringe pumps or infusion pumps
• Airway-management equipment
• An ICU-trained nurse, doctor or other appropriately qualified medical es**rt
• Careful coordination between the sending and receiving medical teams
Every patient should be assessed individually before transport. The medical team, equipment and oxygen requirements are planned according to the patient’s condition, journey duration and destination.

For some families, the most important wish is to bring a loved one home so that they may remain close to their family in a familiar environment.

• A suitable home-care bed
• Oxygen and respiratory equipment
• Electrical supply for essential medical devices
• Nursing or medical support after arrival
• Medication and infusion requirements
• Safe transfer from the ambulance to the patient’s room
• A clear handover to the home-care team
Our purpose is to support a safe, respectful and dignified journey while maintaining the patient’s prescribed level of medical care.
