"National Ambulance" updates 50% of its fleet in the northern regions
The National Ambulance announced its comprehensive modernization of its fleet of emergency vehicles that were manufactured according to the approved specifications and fully equipped with the latest ambulance technologies, which will positively affect the quality of patient care, especially in emergency and critical cases.
The National Ambulance said that this trend comes to adopt the latest medical technologies in line with the UAE's goals in the field of smart and advanced healthcare, to include in its fleet technologies for synchronizing medical devices supported by artificial intelligence and semi-wireless monitoring of patients during emergencies, including advanced solutions for managing their data.
The development included replacing 50% of the national ambulance fleet with new vehicles in the northern regions, and the other half is expected to follow by the end of this year.
He pointed out that the ambulances were manufactured according to European safety standards CEN 1789 and fully equipped with the latest CPR and monitoring technologies available to the emergency medical services sector.
The new vehicles are also equipped with the Corpuls3 Defibrillator Monitor and Corpuls CPR, which work together under the wireless sync system.
These technologies have been tested in different conditions, which have proven their effectiveness in emergency response, and their suitability for use under temperatures up to 55 degrees Celsius, making them suitable for use in hot weather conditions.
Ahmed Al-Hajri, CEO of National Ambulance, said, "The development of the national ambulance fleet and its support with artificial intelligence and modern medical technology comes as a turning point in emergency medical services in a way that enhances the leadership of the UAE regionally and globally in this vital sector, and there are qualitative advantages for these new devices."
For his part, the Administrative and Executive Medical Director of the National Ambulance, Dr. Ayman Ahmed, stressed, "There are many advantages to using the CPR, electric shock and monitoring devices, especially in situations where the time factor is a decisive element in saving the lives of patients and injured, and automation of the devices and the main stages of treatment. The best results and the efficient response time.
He said that "these modern devices can be used for longer periods due to the long life of their batteries and their light weight, which makes them more effective in emergency situations. Wider segments of patients and injured and more age groups benefit from the comprehensive retrofit process, including children under the age of eight, pregnant women and those who suffer from obesity The CPR device also provides the highest levels of tolerance to high temperatures, dust and water intrusion."
The Corpuls3 device allows defibrillation or monitoring of patients' vital signs semi-wireless and from a distance of ten metres.
Corpuls CPR also uses an intelligent chest sensor designed to adjust the depth and rate of compression and adjust it at any time.
When both systems are used together, it allows paramedics to monitor and control the automated chest compressions using a monitor from a distance and without wires, which is especially useful when treating patients with infectious diseases, in traffic accidents or when exposed to radiation.
Thanks to the synchronized devices, the patient is fully assisted from heart rhythm check and CPR to giving electric shocks when needed in the most difficult areas such as stairs and in transport conditions that are dangerous for patients and paramedics.
Another advantage that modern devices provide is the ability to store and manage data, which allows hundreds of records to be retrieved by paramedics or quality control team which prevents data loss, and greatly improves transparency, traceability and compliance, and data can also be transmitted wirelessly, securely and according to the latest guidelines related to the log system Patient care, which contributes to clinical debriefing to improve control and evidence-based practices.
