Abstract: Ambulance is a means of transportation to rescue patients, and we often hear the sound of ambulance in our life. Ambulances are similar in appearance, and many people think that ambulances are the same. In fact, there are different types of ambulances. So how many types of ambulances are there? What medical equipment is there in the medical ambulance? Let's look at the types and equipment configuration of ambulances in Bian Xiao. First of all, how many types of ambulances are there?

Ambulance is a special vehicle for professional application and medical and health fields. According to the national ambulance professional standards, ambulances are divided into transport ambulances, monitoring ambulances, blood transport ambulances, health and epidemic prevention ambulances and fire rescue command vehicles.

1, ambulance

Transfer ambulance, also called transport ambulance, refers to an ambulance that can be used to transport patients with relatively stable condition to the hospital. The transfer ambulance has general first-aid medical equipment and necessary items, which can treat the wounded at the scene or during the transfer, but only some simple medical treatments such as infusion, oxygen inhalation, hemostasis and dressing are generally allowed during the transfer.

2. Guard the ambulance

Guard ambulance, also known as emergency ambulance, refers to an ambulance with emergency resuscitation equipment and basic drugs, which can rescue critically wounded people at the scene or during transportation.

3. Blood transport ambulance

Blood transport ambulance, referred to as blood transport vehicle for short, refers to an ambulance with professional equipment for transporting blood and capable of transporting blood for medical and health institutions according to relevant requirements.

4, health and epidemic prevention ambulance

Health and epidemic prevention ambulance refers to an ambulance equipped with professional emergency equipment for health and epidemic prevention, which can respond to the on-site epidemic situation urgently.

5, fire rescue command vehicle

Fire rescue command vehicle refers to an ambulance with on-site command function, which is used for on-site first aid command of large-scale disasters and accidents.

It is worth mentioning that because transfer ambulances and surveillance ambulances are commonly used in hospitals, the ambulances that people often talk about generally imply these two ambulances.

There are grading standards for ambulances in the world. The first level is taboo and life-threatening; The second layer is taboo, and there is no danger to life; Grade 3 does not require immediate clinical treatment.
