1. Introduction to Box Type Ambulances

Mercedes Box Type Ambulance; An ambulance is a vehicle explicitly designed for the bulk transportation of sick or injured people to, from, or between places of medication (hospitals). The transportation of individuals in extraordinary scenarios is called “high dependency.” Ambulances and other transport medications are normally based on different styles of vehicles. Sometimes ambulances can also require the backup of other medical projectors. In general, there can be a lot of staff in the ambulance than in other medical clinics due to the aspects of the patient.

A Mercedes box type ambulance is specifically designed to transport out-of-hospital medical care while a patient may participate in it. Such ambulances are rare as the workload ambulance model in Hemisphere America provides been van kind. The Mercedes-Benz emergency vehicle is an alternative to the classically used ambulance van. Though there are numerous resemblances between the two vehicle linguistic units, they also have numerous discrepancies that need to be shown to those accountable for purchasing for a new ambulance. There are two different styles of box type ambulances: van kind and bump type. The former is the regular van with a bulimic body-mounted rear seat and the latter is the conventional van with the entire base vehicle with structure built ‘in. History ‘in. These 2 configurations are similar from the outside that they are the same. However, when the physician opts for a compound-configured vehicle when composing their specs, this may bring heavy additional budgeted expenses to allowances for in the costings proposed to buyers. A steel box kind ambulance will thereby allow Mercedes to target the entire market now, rather than around 80%, which it has served for many years.

2. Mercedes Box Type Ambulance: Features and Specifications

For most people, ambulances remain a novel concept. Not many are aware of their designs, especially in India, where the small vehicles used as ambulances, converted from vans, are a common sight on roads. In contrast, many Western countries, including those in Europe, use small vans very rarely as ambulances. Patients in most such countries’ ambulances are transported in what is known as rear mono-volume vehicles, more popularly called the box type vehicles. These vehicles are generally used only as ambulances and are not much seen on the road.

Box type vehicle

In India, some states use rear box type ambulances, while van types are used in others. The reason for using the box type vehicle as an ambulance is that it is more practical. First, the box-type vehicle is a purpose-built vehicle and comes with a built-in frame of stainless steel to carry a variety of medical equipment. Germans, especially known for engineering innovation, are pioneers in the automobile industry, and the Mercedes box type ambulances are characterized by comfort with medical equipment. Some also have ICU features. European countries mostly use the Renault-Adria Design, the Mercedes-Box Model, and the Fiat Ducato-Integrated designs, which are the most popular ambulances. In Finland, Mercedes, Peugeot and Ducato ambulances are most popular, while in France Renault-Adria is used more than Mercedes. Also known as Sprinter T1N, the Mercedes Benz Sprinter Type 901/902/903/904/905/906 was produced from 1995 to 2018. The Mercedes T1N was the first generation of the Mercedes Sprinter Vans and was built in Germany. Because of its deep and flat boxy design, the Mercedes Benz T1N was highly customizable. It could serve as a box type van, an RV, or even as medical transport. The ambulance conversion of the Mercedes Benz T1N was known as the Box Type Ambulance system. The components of the box type ambulance system are highly proprietary and very few ambulance converters have the know-how to construct such an ambulance.

3. Interior Layout and Medical Equipment

Just like the exterior layout, automobile companies manufacture the box type ambulances according to the nature of their usage. Based on the equipment and emergency treatment facilities and space for doctors and staff, the interior of a Mercedes box type ambulance in Bangladesh is separated or organized. This section outlines the layout of the interior of a Mercedes-Benz box type ambulance. The layout and arrangement of the interior help to organize all the medical equipment, conduct the primary survey, move the patient smoothly, and maintain an emergency and stressful situation effectively. The layout of the box type Mercedes-Benz ambulance has been effectively organized by placing ambulance and medicine and medical equipment.

According to the manufacturer of the box type Mercedes ambulance, there are three cabins inside the ambulance namely, the patient cabin, doctor’s bowl, and a passenger carriage area. The complete details of the available layout of interior includes the passenger area and equipment, patient’s cabin, console and equipment, and the doctors’ cabin. We will discuss each of the said interiors here. The passenger and carriage area is made little bit spacious in such a way that a world area hall can be obtained. Thus, a spacious world hall will increase the rescue vent in the ambulance either from normal operation door or emergency door. Besides, equipment also used in the passenger carriage area of ambulance (metrics unique vehicle) to make the patient cabin as the center of all activities. There is a console behind the driver’s room. Magnetic switches for bow signal, 1st, 2nd, 3rd brake signal, fuel level voltage, main engine lubricating oil pressure, gearbox and ring lubrication oil pressure, engine temperature. In the same board hall, brake oil level, emergency brake vacuum, wheel speed for each four wheels.

A fire extinguisher and two fire and eye shields for staff safety are also available in the console. The passenger or patient cabin is designed to train all the excitement rigor by aid of 9 medical ejected installed by Navigo in spacious passenger hall. Magnetic suspension is of the following features. The doctor’s cabin should be spacious and highly comfortable to work. Past research done either constructed a doctor’s cabin like a golden midwife (35 liters) of Bedford or Nojioro (185 liters) vehicle. However, the doctor’s cabin of metrics univerve vehicle was dropped by placing padding in the carpet about a meter around the rear set. Emergency ventilators with xenon light head and suction machine are also available just after the custody by the doctor. (Bytes also facilities. That facility would give a doctor easy access to the ambulance. Besides, make a passenger after an emergency flight-shift. In the emergency doctor’s cabin, some clinical tools to the doctor. Some completed the task quite smoothly. These features are also rescuers to function collected by him.

4. Safety and Ergonomics

The safety of the occupants has always been one of the prime requirements. The basic structure of the vehicle holds a number of safety features and is indigenously rationalized and validated using state-of-the-art tools. The vehicle has undergone expected type testing such as frontal crash, rollover, and rear crash. The safety of passengers and medical devices has been taken care of, and a crash-tested Ambulance patient cot (Stretcher) mounting arrangement has been provided. Medical devices such as Portable Medical Equipment, Drip rack, oxygen holder, Wash Basin, and Glove box are crash-tested and approved from international CAB. Medical devices are biocompatible and joint-free to ensure safety from biological cross-contamination. An air purifier is used to provide clean air in B category, and HEPA, UV-C technology embedded in H14 filter class ensures 99.99% COVID-19 filtration.

The configurations of the ambulance were done in such a way that the daily routine work of the paramedics to attend patients, give first aid & trauma care in the moving vehicle continues in a regular way to reduce stress, fatigue, and musculoskeletal disorders. The seat design and the technologies used in anti-vibration optimize the chauffeur and paramedics’ comfort. Warm/cold lighting is provided to ensure comfort during night travel. Formation of multiplicity types ergonomic and space concepts are identified to provide normal work meter ranges and driving comfort. An audio system is provided with co-drivers facility to indicate customer status of the patient, etc. Radio communication is improved for two communication VHF & UHF, and GPS is installed for tracking the vehicle. GPS also helps in routing to the destination and records of communication.

5. Case Studies and User Feedback

Case studies and user feedback: The MBTA has been used to provide care in both scheduled and emergency care. Scheduled care includes inter-facility transfers for service or simply for transferring patients closer to home with the aim of being back in the right hospital environment. Emergency care includes motor vehicle crash-related injuries, community-acquired conditions, and to a very small scale, motor-cross related injuries. Although not confirmed, doctors opening the back doors of the MBTA and advice ‘on the side of the track’ from doctors watching online streaming of events will have occurred.

User feedback: Translation – positive comments on the MBTA came from paramedics within minutes after collecting the first patient during ‘testing.’ The follow-up survey with healthcare (air) administrators gave positive feedback about the utility of the MBTA and how it fits into the patient journey, reducing travel by air (ambulance/helicopter) by an hour as an example. On times that a patient should have been airlifted, for various issues, the rural or SME hospitals were either unable to secure a landing site (due to weather and restricted daytime operating ability of their helicopter service) and/or firstly sent a ground ALS (advanced life support) ambulance to bring the patient to our higher-level hospital. In some circumstances, the ROCC did discuss whether it would be an appropriate use of the MBTA to bring patients due & requiring air transport to the high-level trauma hospital. This is still in discussion between air EMS whether the MBTA should be used for this purpose. It presently has only occurred 3 times at the 6000-patient population event. Some professionals from London-led Health Region southwest Ontario hospitals (rural, small, and urban) along with users of the Northern Ontario hospitals called 911 and were brought to the hospital in Windsor, Ontario on three occasions. For non-urgent attendances, the expected times were 7.5 hours later had such patients attended that hospital during 2018.
