The humblest and safest way to give way to an ambulance is by:

·        Slowing down

·        Keeping to your left

 

The top time-serious medical emergencies comprise heart attacks, strokes and poly-trauma with on-going bleeding.

In case of a heart attack, a portion of the heart muscle stops getting sufficient blood supply due to jam of the blood vessel and each passing minute upsurges the chances of irreparable death of that portion of the heart muscle or fatal arrhythmia. Likewise, in stroke a portion of the brain misses its blood supply and unalterable cell death starts, which degrades as the time passes leading to irreversible functional infirmity or even death. In case of poly trauma patients severe blood loss is the commonest cause of death.

The instant management for all these time serious emergencies starts as soon as the patient is in the ambulance. Currently, state-of-the-art ambulances function as 'Hospitals on Wheels', as they have resuscitative equipment along with qualified staff and modern communication technological assists to alert and keep the hospital emergency teams in readiness to take over as soon as the patient reaches at the Emergency Room.
