    How Ambulance Services Remain Relevant in Saving Human Lives Published on: 26th July 2022 Medically reviewed by: Medical Director at First Response Healthcare An ambulance is a vehicle that is used to take sick or injured people to the hospital. A life support ambulance is equipped for emergency care and it can also be used to transport patients from one hospital to the other. Ambulances can be in the form of vans, buses, airplanes, helicopters or motorbikes. Ambulances have the necessary equipment required to stabilize someone after an emergency. It’s equipped with stretchers, defibrillators, spine boards, oxygen, cervical (neck) collars, splints, bandages and a range of drugs and intravenous fluids. Ambulances can be placed at hospitals, clinics, stand-alone centres, offices, events, or airports to provide medical care in case of an emergency. Ambulances can be useful for life support, for patient transfer or to provide standby emergency medical services.
