Transportation of elderly people. Intercity and international transportation of bedridden patients Special equipment of the vehicle

Do you need treatment in another Russian region or a neighboring city, but the patient cannot move independently? Are you planning to send a sick relative to a resort or sanatorium to speed up the rehabilitation process or just give him the opportunity to rest? Your family wants to move to another city, but there is a bedridden patient in the house? All of the above issues have their own beneficial and convenient solution. For the right price we we will transport a bedridden patient from city to city.

Our company is well known for transporting bedridden patients in St. Petersburg and throughout Russia from city to city. We provide the best services in transportation of bedridden patients from St. Petersburg to any city in Russia or Europe. If necessary, we will quickly, safely and ensuring the necessary level of comfort, transport a bedridden patient or wheelchair user to another city in Russia or neighboring countries. At the same time, we provide a guarantee of qualified sanitary care during the process of transferring the patient to transport, home or hospital.

Surely everyone who has encountered the problem discussed on this page knows very well that intercity transportation of a bedridden patient– this is not an easy task. A person with mobility difficulties or confined to a wheelchair cannot simply ride in a regular compartment. However, unfortunately, not all Russian cities have trains with special carriages for bedridden patients. Plus, the conditions in them are suitable mainly for wheelchair users, and not for transporting bedridden patients from city to city. In such a situation, it would be much more advisable to use the services of specialized transport, where it is possible to accommodate both a sitting and a bedridden patient with the required level of comfort. Of course, there is a place for accompanying people.

There is another option - transporting the patient by plane. However, certain difficulties may arise here, since airlines are not particularly happy to allow passengers with mobility restrictions on board. Often, airlines refuse to allow bedridden patients to fly from city to city for far-fetched and completely illegal reasons. Of course, government agencies will probably prove the air carrier wrong in such a situation, but you can’t turn back time! It is worth not forgetting about the extra stress for relatives and the patient.

By transporting bedridden patients from one city to another city, our company helps solve several important problems at once:

  • You will not need to look for a medical team to transfer the patient onto a train or plane.
  • You will not need to look for a service for transporting bedridden patients in a foreign city, since we will take the patient to the required building, after which we will carefully transfer him to his ward or apartment.
  • Our company guarantees maximum care in the process of transporting a patient from city to city. You can be sure that absolutely nothing will disturb him.
  • The cost of the service includes transportation of luggage and accompanying people.
  • By using our services, you completely avoid unnecessary stress and hassle that may be associated with loading the patient and transporting a bedridden patient from city to city.

Health, alas, does not last forever. And often relatives of a bedridden patient have to deal with the problem of transportation - how to deliver the patient for examination, to a boarding house, home after hospitalization, to the train to the railway station or to the airport, because transport services are not included in the list of social services? What to do in such cases and when can you count on the state, and when do you have to take matters into your own hands?

Transportation of patients, or, in official language, medical evacuation, was born simultaneously with ambulance - after a terrible fire at the Vienna Opera, when the victims remained on the street next to the burnt building for more than a day, unable to get to the hospital on their own. The First World War also made its contribution to the formation of the basic principles of transporting bedridden patients, when transporting the wounded ceased to be considered a purely military problem and turned into a medical one. Fortunately, the need for medical evacuation after emergencies is not encountered so often, but the need to transport bedridden patients arises regularly. If the patient’s condition is such that the process is carried out by ambulance, then medical evacuation consists of two stages:

  • assessment of the patient’s general condition and provision of necessary medical care at home;
  • transportation and continuation of treatment in a hospital of the required profile.

But if a bedridden patient needs to be returned home from the hospital, the relatives have a problem - the ambulance does not deal with such transportation. Indeed, if a person does not need the help of a doctor, it is at least irrational to use a team of medical workers to transport bedridden patients from the hospital for free.

Types of patient transportation

Transportation of non-ambulatory patients, as well as ordinary patients, can be emergency or planned. Emergency is carried out in situations where the patient’s life is in danger or his health condition requires urgent hospitalization. This category also includes cases in which it is necessary to transport a patient from one medical institution to another, since highly specialized care is needed. For example, in a general medical hospital there may well be a pregnant woman who has begun to give birth. In this situation, the decision on the need for transportation is made by the head of the hospital, his deputy for medical work or the doctor on duty.

Planned transportation may be necessary:

  • during planned hospitalization;
  • returning from hospital;
  • examinations;
  • transportation to a boarding house, hospice, etc.;
  • visits to relatives.

Depending on the type of injury (if any) and the general condition of the patient, he can be transported to the car:

  • on foot;
  • on crutches and with support;
  • on hands;
  • on a wheelchair;
  • on a stretcher.

People with mild somatic pathologies and injuries of the upper extremities are escorted to the car on foot. If the trip is long, it is better to put such a patient in the car, especially if he complains of dizziness.

You can use crutches and support to walk patients with lower leg and foot injuries to their car after immobilization.

Children are carried in their arms. For adults - only in extreme cases, when it is impossible to use a stretcher (for example, it is impossible to turn around on the stairs with them) and it is also impossible to replace them with a blanket.

Patients are transported on stretchers:

  • unconscious;
  • in a state of shock;
  • in case of acute cerebrovascular accident;
  • with myocardial infarction;
  • women in labor;
  • pregnant women with eclampsia or threat of premature birth;
  • with moderate to severe surgical or gynecological pathology;
  • with spinal injury;
  • with traumatic brain injuries.

Before transferring the patient onto a stretcher, it is recommended to lay down a blanket or thin blanket - then it will make transferring easier. The free ends of the blanket are wrapped around the patient. Don't forget about an extra warm blanket and hat if it's cold outside.

Usually the patient is carried head first, but if he has to be carried down stairs, the lower limbs should be in front. Even if the patient himself reacts negatively to this, safety precautions are more important than prejudice.

Rules for transporting a victim

The patient must be prepared for transportation. If it is an emergency, the medical team prepares and stabilizes the patient’s condition, and they also monitor the victim during the trip itself. If the transportation is planned, preparing the patient for transportation falls on the shoulders of relatives.

The patient needs to be reassured and the need for transportation explained. A few days before it, you need to especially carefully monitor his health and take all prescribed medications. The last meal before transportation should be no later than 2 hours before it, and if possible, it is better to transport the patient on an empty stomach. This reduces the likelihood of motion sickness and vomiting.

It is necessary to convince the patient to relieve natural needs shortly before leaving home. A diaper is put on the patient, especially if the trip is long.

Clothing, documents, and personal hygiene items are prepared in advance, but if it is cold outside, the patient is dressed immediately before transportation.

The “approaches” to the patient’s bed and the path to the door must be cleared so that specialists can carry stretchers and other necessary equipment.

During transportation, the patient should not be fed or given water to avoid causing food to enter the respiratory tract or vomit.

Transport services for bedridden patients

So, an ambulance can deliver a patient to a hospital free of charge if his health condition requires urgent qualified medical care. But after the hospitalization period ends, the state, as they say, washes its hands, and transporting a bedridden patient from the hospital home becomes the concern of relatives. Theoretically, the hospital administration can meet halfway and provide transport for transportation, but this cannot be obligated. Private transportation services can come to the rescue.

Private services are always available and, in general, transportation takes place in much more comfortable conditions than hospital transport can provide. The patient is transported under the supervision of qualified personnel. But there is also a downside - due to the fact that transporting bedridden patients requires expensive equipment and trained specialists, it cannot be cheap. The cost of transporting bedridden patients in Moscow starts from 2,500 rubles for transportation within 5 km within the Moscow Ring Road. If the patient weighs more than 150 kg, then an additional orderly will cost at least another 1,000 rubles. And if the patient’s health condition is such that constant medical monitoring is necessary, then the cost of transportation can reach 8,000–10,000 rubles. But many transport companies have social tariffs for preferential categories of citizens - this needs to be clarified in each individual case.


Sanitary transportation of bedridden patients is not an easy task. The state or municipality can help only in emergency cases, when the life and health of a person is in danger and transportation to a hospital is required - this is required by law. In all other cases you have to rely on your own strength. It is strictly not recommended to try to transport a bedridden patient in an unequipped vehicle, especially in an ordinary passenger car; this is dangerous not only for health, but also for life. Private transportation services are equipped with special vehicles, and specially trained employees must transfer the patient in and out of the car and monitor his condition.

If it is necessary to transport a disabled person, a seriously ill person, or an immobile person to another city in Russia, often the most convenient option will be to transport a person with limited physical capabilities in a specialized vehicle.

To transport bedridden patients to remote regions and cities of Russia, it is more convenient to use an airplane or train. Our delivery service for bedridden patients "Medical Transportation Service" will help you with a safe send-off at the airport or train station: MEETING / SEEING OUT OF BEDDOCK PATIENTS AT THE AIRPORT OR AT THE RAILWAY STATION

To transport a non-ambulatory patient, disabled person or elderly person to another city, the Sanitary Transportation Service uses:

  • Fully serviceable, modern, comfortable and warm vans, equipped for transporting bedridden patients over short and long distances.
  • Specialized roll-out beds for bedridden patients.
  • Professional wheelchairs for sedentary patients.
  • Additional elements and equipment to guarantee the safety of transportation and comfort of an immobile sick person.

A team of 2 nurses (can be supplemented if necessary) delivers a bedridden patient from his bed to the car, then accompanies him to his destination, and finally transfers the patient to a bed in his new location.

Transportation of patients after surgery from the hospital to home or to the countryside

Often there is a need to transport a patient with limited mobility upon discharge after a series of “stream” operations - arthroscopy on joints, after fractures, etc., when a person comes to the hospital on his own, but when returning he needs help, a comfortable large car and special equipment .

If your loved one has done planned or suddenly indicated surgery, and the family only has a passenger car or a small SUV, where it is absolutely impossible to comfortably and safely place the operated leg, then you simply need to resort to specialized transportation of bedridden patients.

To transport patients after surgery (arthroscopy, fractures), you need a large, comfortable car with special equipment for the safe, comfortable placement of your loved one.

In what cases will our service help you transport a patient or patient after surgery:

  • If the patient does NOT need medical support - since we do not provide medical services.
  • If you need to transport a patient after surgery on the knee joint, after ligament replacement, after meniscus removal and similar operations
  • If you need to transport a patient after fractures
  • If the patient needs to be transported strictly in a lying or semi-lying state.
  • If you need to transport a patient after surgery over a long distance - to a dacha, for example
  • If a patient needs help, we will deliver him from bed to bed and put him comfortably in the car.
  • If you yourself are now in the hospital after surgery, you will soon be discharged, but there is no one to take you home. You can order a transportation service for yourself very inexpensively.

We have excellent large tall foreign-made minibuses with modern specialized equipment!

This means that your loved one will be transported safely, comfortably over any distance, you will be able to accompany him comfortably, you will be able to take the necessary things, crutches, a wheelchair - everything you need.

Dear Customers! Please note that the Sanitary Transportation Service company transports people with disabilities without providing medical services.

Transportation of bedridden patients by ambulance

You can completely rely on IMMUCOR employees. Our service includes transporting a patient from bed to bed, from hospital to home or from hospital to hospital. This means that our team of professionals will be with the patient throughout the entire journey: from the moment we pick the patient up from the hospital or home until the moment we arrive at the destination.

Not all organizations are ready to carry out long-distance transportation. IMMUCOR strives to make paid transportation of bedridden patients across Russia calm, comfortable and safe. This is exactly what any trip is like for each of our clients. During the trip, our staff keeps a log of the patient's condition, recording any change. Therefore, we provide a detailed medical report to the receiving hospital or our passenger's family.

Each machine is equipped with:

Vacuum mattress (necessary for transporting patients with a hip or femoral neck fracture);

IVL - a device for artificial ventilation of the lungs;

Defibrillator;

Resuscitation kit;

It should be pointed out that traveling with the help of specialized medical transport is an excellent alternative to expensive flights or train travel. In some cases, when the patient’s condition does not allow using an airplane, and traveling by train is not suitable in time, ground transportation is an ideal way to transport the patient from the hospital to home or vice versa.

Patients sent for home treatment are often too weak to get home on their own, so transportation is indispensable. In the Russian Federation, all types of transportation of patients by ambulance are performed only for a fee. The choice is yours: take the patient home from the hospital in an old GAZelle or order modern, comfortable and safe transport. At the same time, prices for transporting bedridden patients may differ by 1.5 - 2 times.

The current state of the medical transportation sector in Russia remains deplorable. Unfortunately, due to funding cuts, patients are increasingly being discharged from hospitals before the end of the necessary treatment. Relatives are forced to urgently look for a paid delivery service for patients. The municipal ambulance does not currently provide such services. For this purpose, there is a social taxi service, which is always loaded with orders.

This problem is faced by all those who are discharged after treatment in a public hospital. A fairly large number of incapacitated patients, including non-ambulatory people, patients with fractures, post-stroke patients and those who have experienced a heart attack, cannot independently get home, climb stairs, or even get out of bed. Often, due to old age, the patient requires additional assistance, especially when transporting a patient with a fracture of the femoral neck, spine or pelvic bones. After discharge, patients with such injuries must remain in a horizontal position for a long time.

If you need intercity transportation in an intensive care vehicle with a full team of doctors, follow the link -> TRANSPORTATION OF PATIENTS BETWEEN CITIES WITH A TEAM OF DOCTORS.

Look at the photo gallery of our trips with bedridden patients in Russia and abroad.

When a person is sick, it is very sad, but when he cannot move independently, it is doubly sad. Relatives and friends are ready to do everything to alleviate the condition of a loved one or simply give him pleasure, and sometimes this requires transportation of bedridden patients from city to city, sometimes outside the country. The purpose of the move may be different - treatment in a clinic, rehabilitation in a sanatorium or vacation at a resort is required. Or maybe the whole family is moving to another city. One way or another, deciding how to deliver or transport a bedridden or non-ambulatory patient to another city can develop into a real problem.

Anyone who has had to deal with a similar situation will confirm that it is not easy to cope with. Transportation of patients from another city or transporting bedridden patients to another city is a very difficult and responsible task. A person who has serious mobility difficulties or is unable to move at all is confined to a bed or wheelchair and therefore cannot travel in the traditional way - in a car, train or plane. In addition, there are also such difficult cases when transporting a patient can be dangerous for his life. In all of the above cases, transportation of immovable patients requires a vehicle with special medical equipment.

How to transport a sick person to another city

Transportation of bedridden patients between cities is carried out using specialized transport, which provides everything for a comfortable stay for sitting and bedridden patients, has the necessary medical equipment and, of course, there is room for accompanying persons.

Such a vehicle is equipped with all the necessary equipment and medicines. A special car has a comfortable stretcher, and if there is such a need, for example in the case of a spinal injury, the patient is secured in a special way. There are doctors nearby monitoring the patient’s condition. The car has devices for monitoring blood pressure, oxygen supply, and so on.

Features of transporting a bedridden patient between cities (intercity)

Transporting a patient over long distances includes not only the process of moving in special transport, caring for him, assessing his condition, but also going down from the floor and going up to the floor. This work can only be performed by qualified specialists using special stretchers, because for those who transport patients between cities this is not a problem. It should be remembered that in especially severe cases the patient should not be shaken; often he should be provided with access to oxygen (for which an oxygen mask is worn), medicinal support, and so on. Each case is individual, and professionals from a specialized medical company can navigate the specific situation and ensure proper transportation.

Sanitary transportation of a bedridden patient in Russia

Medical transportation of bedridden patients between cities is a special and very responsible service that our company offers in full and at the most professional and high-quality level. For this purpose, an ambulance is used, equipped with the latest medical science and technology. The equipment includes, among other things, resuscitation devices, devices for providing almost any assistance that may be required during the move, a special stretcher and a mattress. Highly qualified doctors provide complete control over the patient: transportation of disabled people from city to city is accompanied by ensuring the stability of his condition and maximum comfort.

The technical medical equipment of cars makes it possible to transport a disabled person from one city to another city, regardless of the distance between points - both within the country and abroad. If it is necessary to transport a newborn child in serious condition, a special medical incubator is used for this purpose, which is equipped with the car.

Types of transportation of immovable patients to another city

Transportation of disabled people from St. Petersburg to another city depends on the patient’s condition, namely:

  • mild degree of severity - involves transporting a person without the need to provide additional medicine along the way, however, constant medical supervision and special stretchers are necessary;
  • moderate severity - provides for compliance with the recommendations and requirements of the attending physician on the road, mandatory preventive measures and constant monitoring of the patient’s condition;
  • high severity - requires a special approach, which includes symptomatic therapeutic measures, continuous monitoring of important vital functions of the body; Such a patient is necessarily accompanied by a team of resuscitators who maintain the patient’s vitality at the most optimal level in a particular case.
