Patient Transfer from Lahore to Multan: Planning a Long Journey

Lahore to Multan is roughly a four to five hour ambulance journey by motorway. A transfer that long needs planning, not just a vehicle.

Oxygen planning

Oxygen is calculated on flow rate multiplied by journey time, then a reserve is added for traffic or a diversion. Running out halfway is not an option, so we load more than the minimum.

Comfort for the patient

A full-length stretcher with a proper mattress, an air-conditioned compartment and secure straps make the difference between a tolerable journey and a painful one. Pressure areas are checked at stops for elderly and bedridden patients.

Crew and monitoring

For a stable patient, a trained attendant travels along. For a ventilated or unstable patient, an ICU unit with a paramedic is required. Long journeys are also planned around crew rest so the driver is alert the whole way.

What to arrange before leaving

• Confirm the bed at the receiving hospital in Multan
• Carry the discharge summary, reports and imaging
• Carry the patient's regular medication for the journey
• Agree the total fare, including the ambulance's return
