Bikaner to Delhi ICU Road Ambulance Transfer

ICU Road Ambulance Transfer from Bikaner to Delhi for a Patient with Pott’s Spine

A 50-year-old female patient diagnosed with Pott’s Spine (spinal tuberculosis) required intercity medical transfer from Bikaner, Rajasthan, to Delhi for further evaluation and management. Her condition was associated with persistent and severe back pain, restricted mobility, and the need for continuous analgesia and monitoring during transit.

Due to the nature of her spinal involvement and pain sensitivity, air travel was deemed clinically unsuitable. A road-based ICU ambulance was identified as the safest and most controlled option, allowing for stable positioning, pain management, and uninterrupted medical supervision throughout the journey.

Medical Planning and Transport Considerations

The transfer plan focused on minimising spinal movement, maintaining patient comfort, and ensuring continuous monitoring over the long-distance route from Bikaner to Delhi. Given the prolonged duration of travel, particular emphasis was placed on pain control and positional stability.

A fully equipped ICU road ambulance was deployed, staffed by a medical doctor and a trained paramedic experienced in managing patients with spinal pathology. This ensured immediate clinical response capability in the event of pain escalation or other medical concerns during transit.

Onboard Care and Patient Comfort Measures

To manage ongoing pain, the patient was maintained on continuous analgesic infusion using an infusion pump, allowing for consistent and controlled medication delivery. A specialised air mattress was used to provide adequate spinal support, reduce pressure points, and limit discomfort caused by prolonged immobilisation.

Vital parameters were monitored throughout the journey, and the patient’s condition remained stable under continuous observation. Care was taken to ensure smooth driving conditions and minimal physical disturbance, in line with best practices for spinal patient transport.

Arrival and Clinical Handover in Delhi

The transfer from Bikaner to Delhi was completed without complication. Upon arrival, the patient was handed over safely to the receiving hospital team in Delhi for further treatment. The continuity of care maintained during transit allowed for a smooth clinical transition without deterioration in her condition.

Clinical Insight

This case illustrates the importance of tailored transport planning for patients with spinal tuberculosis and severe pain syndromes. For such cases, ICU road ambulance services provide a controlled environment where positioning, analgesia, and monitoring can be managed continuously over long distances.

Intercity routes such as Bikaner to Delhi require not only logistical coordination but also condition-specific clinical decision-making to ensure patient safety and comfort throughout the transfer.

Summary

Long-distance medical transfers for patients with spinal conditions demand careful attention to stability, pain control, and continuous supervision. In this instance, structured planning and appropriate transport selection enabled a safe and comfortable journey, ensuring the patient reached Delhi in a stable condition for further care.
