Intensive care ambulance Volkswagen T5

vaninfantpediatric

The neonatal ambulance, based on Volkswagen T5 with high roof, is a rolling intensive care unit for prematurely born children and critically ill babies. The vehicle has a built-in transport incubator and a hydro-pneumatic treatment table. Installed across the driving direction, the incubator provides a vibration-free transport, which is not guaranteed in conventional ambulances. View to the rear compartment: The companion seats have been mounted side by side, in front of the incubator and in driving direction. This allows the pediatrician and a pediatric nurse to monitor and sustain the entrusted baby in the best way. Alternatively to a standard 3-point seat belt you can choose the installation of a shoulder belt. Under a heat lamp, mounted above the drawer cabinet, the infant is protected against life-threatening hypothermia. View from the RH side door: A hydro-pneumatic examination table is the centerpiece of the vehicle. This table is set specifically to carry the weight of the transport incubator and was installed close to the partition wall across to the driving direction. Thus, the incubator is located between the axles at a position, where the physical forces are the lowest. Additional advantage: Not only that caregivers can treat the child adequately while travelling, the transverse mounting also changes the forces acting on the child during transportation. The transport incubator provides a constant preselected temperature and protects the child against hypothermia. The incubator can be enriched with oxygen to offer a higher content of it to spontaneously breathing children.
