Rail Ambulance Service From Delhi To Bhopal

Case Overview

An 80-year-old female with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and chronic type 2 respiratory failure, maintained on long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT), required inter-hospital transfer from AIIMS Delhi to AIIMS Bhopal. Given her dependence on continuous oxygen and the need for uninterrupted monitoring, a Rail Ambulance was chosen for stable, long-distance transport.

Why Rail Ambulance Was Chosen

• Smoother ride profile vs. road over long distances
• Consistent power/space for ICU-grade equipment
• Ability to maintain continuous oxygen therapy and close monitoring
• Cost-effective alternative to air ambulance where feasible

Onboard ICU Setup & Team

• Critical care physician, paramedics, and a respiratory therapist
• Portable oxygen delivery (primary + backup) with humidification
• Multi-parameter monitor (ECG, NIBP, SpO₂, RR) and capnography (if required)
• Suction machine, nebulization kit, and airway management tools
• Infusion pumps and emergency medication kit for COPD exacerbations
• Emergency response readiness for hemodynamic instability

Care During Transit

The patient received bed-to-bed care with continuous SpO₂ and vitals monitoring. Oxygen was titrated to maintain target saturations, with interval auscultation and symptom checks for dyspnea or fatigue. Nebulized bronchodilators and supportive medications were administered as per protocol to prevent acute exacerbations.

Outcome

The transfer concluded safely with hemodynamic stability maintained throughout. The patient was handed over to the receiving team at AIIMS Bhopal with a comprehensive clinical handoff and ongoing care recommendations.
