Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital at Hamilton has announced that they will add four new ultramodern ambulances to service Hamilton and East Windsor. The custom-designed ambulances come with features both practical and surprising that are meant to enhance patient safety, reduce crew members' injuries and promote energy efficiency, the hospital said in an announcement.
Some of the features include:
a hydraulic lift system that enables EMT crew members to hoist patients into the vehicle with the push of a button.
a mount that holds stretchers in place in the event the ambulance rolls-over.
mobile wi-fi to allow electronic patient care reporting and charging stations for mobile devices.
they even solar panels that charge the vehicles, saving gas and eliminating the need to idle.
Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital provides primary basic life support, or BLS, ambulance coverage to Hamilton and East Windsor townships and respond to nearly 1,000 emergency calls in the area per month.
