Inside an Ambulance

What is inside an Ambulance?

Every Ambulance Service has a different set of medical equipment and paramedic equipment to ensure that its paramedics are capable of providing the best life-saving interventions while enroute to hospital.

Most Ambulances in Australia have at a very minimum:

– A deffibrilator 

– Drug kit

– BP cuff and sphygnometer

– Oxygen

-Gloves and a range of other personal protective equipment (PPE)

– Syringes, Needles, Cannulaes, Intra-nasal kits, alcohol wipes and other tools required to administer drugs

– Paper case sheets (although these are slowly being phased out with most Ambulance Services turning to electronic patient heath care case sheets)

– Stetcher (for the patient), spine board, carry chair, scoop stretcher, carry sheet.

– Splinting equipment, such as cardboard splints, traction equipment, and inflatable splints

-Maternity kits

– Burns kits
