With the development of medicine, a large number of new technology and equipment. Unfortunately, not everyone is equipped with it medical institutions. Sometimes, a particular patient has to travel to another city to undergo the necessary examination or any other procedure as directed by a doctor. Seriously ill people are in a difficult situation, since transportation requires a person who is equipped with medical equipment and has trained medical personnel who will monitor his condition on the way to another city. In the vastness of our vast country, sometimes such patients have to travel long distances.
Thus, transportation of bedridden patients should be comfortable and safe, eliminating the risk of injury. Often, a person with limited movement experiences pain and severe stress at the slightest change in body position. These are both serious diseases and old age, and the postoperative period. A personal car is contraindicated for transporting this category of citizens, and transport specially equipped for the needs of bedridden patients comes to the rescue.
When may it be necessary to transport a patient?
Relatives are faced with the question: how to transport a bedridden patient to another city? In cases of transportation, relatives and the patient himself have to turn to special private companies, since usually Government program for the transportation of seriously ill patients involves registration large quantity papers, which requires a huge amount of time, which some patients do not have. Cases when a bedridden patient requires transportation:
- If a person was urgently hospitalized in another city. Usually, upon discharge, relatives want to take the person to their city for further rehabilitation or treatment.
- Bedridden patients with cancer pathologies can be sent for examination to large oncology centers in neighboring cities and even countries.
- Patients with spinal or pelvic injuries can, at the request of relatives, be transported to other cities and hospitals for further treatment.
Thus, transportation of bedridden patients between cities is in great demand and is important for the implementation of high-quality medical care.
Public and private organizations transporting bedridden patients
The state ambulance service receives emergency calls and transports patients to inpatient treatment facilities free of charge. At the same time, the organization does not carry out reverse evacuation of a bedridden patient if he is refused hospitalization, and will not take him home after discharge from the department. It is possible to arrange paid transportation, but the bureaucratic procedure takes a lot of time and effort.
The law provides for the creation of non-profit services whose activities include the transportation of bedridden patients free of charge or at minimal prices. As a rule, they operate only in large cities and do not always have everything necessary to provide high-quality transportation to all categories of people with disabilities.
When we're talking about evacuation to another city, and even more so to another country, cannot be done without private licensed services for transporting bedridden patients. Special medical transport has everything necessary equipment for the safe delivery of people unable to move independently in accordance with the “bed to bed” principle along the following routes:
- to medical institutions and back home;
- to rehabilitation, health or diagnostic centers;
- to train stations, airports;
- to other cities, regions, abroad.
Paid services operate around the clock, have wide range services, discount system, trained staff and have various types transport, which is always ready to help incapacitated citizens, regardless of diagnosis.
The cost of transportation is calculated individually and depends on the chosen type. vehicle, duration of the trip, severity of the patient and professionalism of the service personnel (workers with medical education or a team of orderlies).
Important! In addition to transportation, commercial service personnel may accompany the patient throughout his or her appointment or examination at a medical facility.
Types of transportation
On the territory of the country, there are three types of transportation of bedridden patients to other cities - by rail, by air, and also by moving the patient in a specialized vehicle. The choice is dictated by the patient’s condition, financial capabilities, reason and direction of transportation. In all cases, the person is accompanied by trained medical personnel who have the right to engage in such medical activities. The transportation team includes: a paramedic or doctor, as well as a nurse.
| Rail transportation | Air transportation | Transportation by car |
| As a rule, for this, the company that carries out the transportation buys an entire compartment and equips it with portable medical equipment. This allows you to turn a train compartment into an intensive care ward, in which the patient will be comfortable and under the supervision of staff. | Companies that organize the movement of a patient in this way negotiate with the airline and arrange a seat in the rear of the cabin. Air transportation is suitable for patients who urgently need to be transported over a long distance. | They are carried out in a specialized ambulance equipped with all the necessary equipment, medicines, as well as oxygen reserves for long-distance transportation. |
Important! If the patient is transported abroad, the transportation service staff will provide assistance in preparing travel documents, in cooperation with the embassy, and provide an interpreter.
Transporting a bedridden patient by train
This rarely happens, since it is precisely when it is possible to most closely approximate conditions similar to an intensive care ward due to the spacious compartment and the large amount of necessary equipment that can be placed. In addition, there are special carriages equipped with pneumatic lifts for convenient lifting of a bedridden patient into the carriage.
As a rule, this method of movement is indicated for the most seriously ill patients who require maximum comfort and close supervision by health workers. They are contraindicated from changes in pressure, temperature and other factors that can affect the deterioration of a person’s condition. If during a trip the patient’s well-being becomes a threat to his life, then at the next stop the person is removed and hospitalized in the nearest hospital to stabilize his condition.
This rarely happens, since it is during rail transportation that it is possible to most fully approximate conditions similar to an intensive care ward due to the spacious compartment and the large amount of necessary equipment that can be placed.
Transportation of a bedridden patient by plane
It is important to know that it is necessary to plan the date of transportation to another city in advance, preferably at least 48 hours in advance. Airlines have the right to refuse to provide a seat without giving reasons.
Therefore, the relocation company needs time to find a suitable flight. To fly, you must obtain permission from your attending physician, since factors such as changes in atmospheric pressure, high speed during takeoff, and turbulence can affect your well-being.
They try not to transport seriously ill people on an airplane, because due to the small amount of space inside the cabin, it is not possible to install the amount of equipment that will be necessary. Therefore, the flight is allowed for moderately ill patients and simply bedridden patients who, for one reason or another, need the supervision of medical personnel. Such transportation of bedridden patients from city to city has the most important advantage - speed.
Transporting a bedridden patient by car
The initial configuration of the machines involves monitoring a patient with any diagnosis and severity level. This type of transportation involves the entire team: doctor, paramedic, nurse and driver. Unlike other types of transportation, only one relative can be present if necessary. The patient must be in a stable condition, since transportation involves braking and accelerating the car, turns, and bumps. If necessary, the medical team can stop, seek help from hospitals along the route, and even urgently hospitalize the patient, if necessary.
Transportation of bedridden patients by road is the most popular type of service in the city and beyond. It includes a resuscitation vehicle, an ambulance and a sanitary taxi. The difference between them lies in the degree of medical equipment and medicines to provide emergency assistance, as well as in the qualifications of accompanying specialists. Many services limit their activities to only delivering a bedridden patient to their destination, without providing medical services before, during and after the trip. Others have experienced doctors and paramedics on their staff, which is especially important when moving seriously ill patients who require constant monitoring by a doctor.
All cars must have technical characteristics, designed to mentally and physically facilitate the trip of an incapacitated person. This is the presence in a spacious and roomy interior:
- functional soft stretcher with fastenings that fix the body;
- wheelchair and stretcher;
- soft suspension, smoothing out shocks from potholes on the roads;
- climate control system that monitors the maintenance of comfortable conditions;
- disposable bed, pillows, blankets.
Special vehicle equipment
Medical equipment in vehicles used for transporting bedridden patients:

| Ambulance, reanimobile, train |

How is the cost of transportation calculated?
Many factors play a role here: the severity of the bedridden patient’s condition, the amount of equipment and medical personnel who will be involved in transportation, and most importantly, the distance. In any case, the further the destination, the higher the price. All companies have their own tariffs, and some even have their own discount system. Therefore, there is no specific price for all clients, since the cost is calculated individually, based on a specific case. Thus, with the level of development of medical care, the question of how to deliver a bedridden patient to another city and even country becomes not as problematic as, for example, several decades ago.
Preparation for the process of transporting bedridden patients
The position when transporting bedridden patients in transport depends on the diagnosis and combination of associated injuries. For successful transportation, it is important to take a number of measures that not only will not harm the health of the non-ambulatory passenger, but will also facilitate the work of the people accompanying him. This includes preliminary hygiene procedures, preparation of documents, tests, medical reports by relatives, psychological support, and monitoring of the patient’s condition by the doctor.
The decision on how to transport a bedridden patient should be made together with the attending physician. After all, a person’s health, and sometimes life, depends on how quickly and professionally the transportation is carried out.
Video
Transportation of elderly people, including sick people, by ambulance is carried out in the presence of a threat to life and health. If there is no indication, the patient or his relatives are obliged to take care of this. The ambulance is not obliged to make the way back home if, after examination in the emergency room, he is refused hospitalization. Services within the framework of compulsory medical insurance do not apply to cases of delivery to a clinic for diagnostics and rehabilitation. Therefore, transportation of elderly people within the city, to another locality, or abroad is carried out on their own.
If there is a suspicion that long-distance travel in an unprepared car may harm your health, use the services of a specialized institution.
Methods of transporting an elderly person
How to transport grandparents to treatment and back home depends on a number of circumstances. Take into account:
- doctor's recommendations based on diagnosis;
- well-being: transporting a weakened person who is able to take a sitting position differs from transporting an immobilized patient or a disabled person;
- distance to destination.
You cannot use a regular passenger car if it threatens to worsen your health. Savings are not acceptable when there is a long transportation of elderly people to another city. To do this, you need to find contacts of a specialized service in your city and order equipped transport with medical personnel for the desired date.
Preparation for transportation
For a trip to be successful, you need to prepare for it. Relatives will have to show maximum tact to reassure parents and explain the necessity and importance of the procedure.
Pay attention to two points - how to prepare a relative for moving, and what to take with you on the road. Proceed as follows:
- when ordering transport, inform the dispatcher about the presence of a diagnosis, legal capacity and other features;
- It is better to abstain from eating;
- prepare documents: medical, personal, social, for boarding a plane, train;
- There is no need to dress the patient in advance: do it before leaving the house;
- clear the way from bed to front door and an elevator so that the orderlies could freely carry out the stretcher;
- do not overfeed, do not give drink on the road: food can get into the respiratory tract and cause a gag reflex;
- make sure that old man fulfilled the natural needs of the house. Put a diaper on him.
Take with you:
- water in a non-spill container;
- towels, wet wipes;
- spare underwear, diapers;
- diapers;
- food supply for a single meal, plastic dishes;
- bag for storing garbage.
The main thing is to provide the paramedic with a doctor’s report on the relative’s transportability and take with you the medications prescribed by the doctor.
Vehicle equipment
Transportation is carried out in specialized ambulance vehicles. The standard equipment set includes:
- soft stretchers;
- immobilization mattress;
- gurney;
- straps to fasten to wheelchair;
- transformable chair;
- tonometer, glucometer, other devices for monitoring vital functions.
When the patient is in serious condition, or there is a risk of deterioration of health on the road, an ambulance equipped with an anesthesia device, a ventilator, a defibrillator, an electrocardiograph, etc. is brought in.
How to transport a person to another city
The service is used when moving for permanent residence, going on a visit, for treatment, for diagnostics, or rehabilitation. The task of loved ones and medical staff is to organize a stress-free trip so that parents do not feel worse on the road due to lack of comfort and lack of qualified personnel among the accompanying persons.
Consider three important points:
- how is the relative’s well-being, is it permissible to move for medical reasons if there is an established diagnosis;
- distance to the city: the choice of vehicle depends on the remoteness of the place;
- whether a person is able to spend many hours on the road, or whether it is desirable to reduce travel time.
The relocation map is prepared individually. Several modes of transport are involved in intercity transportation:
- special car;
- train;
- airplane (helicopter).
Attention! Transportation of elderly people with medical diagnoses is carried out only by licensed companies after obtaining a doctor's permission.
We do not recommend using a car if the journey will take at least 10 hours, or the distance to the destination is more than 1000 km. Elderly people, especially those who are weakened due to illness and are frightened by the upcoming trip, do not tolerate such procedures well. In this case, we advise you to pay a little more and order transportation by rail in a specially equipped compartment or by plane.
How to move an elderly person to a boarding house
Typically, the boarding house operates its own round-trip transportation service. IN otherwise We will take the initiative and try to negotiate with the hospital management regarding free delivery to the boarding house to continue treatment. If there is a refusal, you will have to use the services of a specialized team. Help is urgently needed when:
- the relative is completely immobilized or inactive;
- the building does not have a freight elevator, and a person is not able to take a sitting position;
- in the institution (one or both) there are narrow flights of stairs and small landings, so it is difficult for orderlies with a stretcher to lower/ascend a patient on a stretcher;
- There are no ramps at the entrance or inside.
Transportation occurs according to the “bed to bed” scheme. The difficulties associated with the descent of the grandmother and grandfather from the top floor, with the location inside the car, will be taken care of by the orderlies.
From the hospital to home
Similar difficulties await when middle-aged parents are discharged home from the hospital. Management has the right to refuse transportation if there is no danger or threat to life. A good doctor will try to talk with the grandmother and calm her down before the journey. You may need to give a sedative or medication that has a sleeping effect. Relatives need to listen to the doctor’s recommendations regarding home treatment and delivery conditions. Take any medications you may need with you.
How to transport to another country
Transporting elderly parents abroad is easier, safer and faster by plane. If there is a lot of time left before the appointed date, you can use the railway.
