  1. Essential Equipment In Non-Emergency Medical Transport

  2. If you need to transport a patient to a hospital, but they are not in a life-threatening condition, you call a non-emergency medical transport service. About 80–85% of urgent and non-emergency ambulance calls are for non-emergency cases.

  3. Ambulance equipment essential to non-emergency services For those who provide non-emergency ambulance services, here is an equipment checklist.

  4. Ambulance Bag or First Aid Box Ambulance bags contain basic first aid supplies, trauma kits, and emergency supplies. Everyone, from emergency ambulances to non-emergency ambulance services, carries an ambulance bag or first aid kit. The ambulance bag includes bandages, medicines, syringes, drips, and sedatives. The medicines include antibiotics, analgesics, antipyretics, antiseptics, and antipyretics.

  5. Equipment for measuring vital Signs • A non-emergency ambulance service can record a patient’s vital signs using all the necessary equipment, which includes a clinical thermometer, a sphygmomanometer, a stethoscope, and a stethoscope for measuring a patient’s pulse.

  6. Pocket Mask with One-way Valve for CPR • If a patient suffers a cardiac arrest or respiratory issue while undergoing transport, non-emergency ambulances are equipped with pocket masks with one-way valves for performing cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

  7. Portable Oxygen Cylinder A portable oxygen cylinder should always be present in a non-emergency ambulance service for use in case of an emergency while transporting elders. Elders have a high likelihood of experiencing breathlessness or respiratory failure during transportation.

  8. Portable Suction Unit • Non-emergency ambulance services should have a portable suction unit for patients with respiratory illnesses or elderly patients because it helps clear respiratory pathways of mucus and fluid. Detachable Drip Stand • When a patient is transported in a non-emergency ambulance service, a detachable drip stand is provided. • Non-emergency medical transport ambulances are just as important as emergency ambulances in transporting patients. Always seek out a professional non-emergency ambulance service to ensure patient safety
