Guidelines For The Transport Of Critically
ill Patients In Rabindranath Tagore International Institute
Of Cardiac Science |
|
|
When
attending a call, the ambulance is staffed by: |
-
One driver
-
One helper
-
One experienced paramedic
-
One trained medical officer, if required
|
|
|
|
Our Critical Care Network |
|
|
For efficient medical monitoring of the
patient’s condition, the institute has qualified personnel with
knowledge and skills sufficient to evaluate and stabilize patients
with potentially lethal or disabling conditions. What makes our
critical care network stand out and rise above the rest is that most
of the medical officers and staff are trained in advanced life
support services.
The network is responsible for the coordination and development of
transfer services within definite areas. The
network comprises medical officers, paramedical personnel, ambulance
driver and one Manager, whose responsibility is to develop referral
pathway, handle transfer protocols and undertake quality
assurance programmes, so as to identify the nature, number and types
of beds available within a set network. |
