At Allied Medical Group (AMG), we understand that high dependency transport requires more than just a standard ambulance. Our HDU transport services are specifically designed to provide safe, efficient, and hospital-level care to patients requiring constant monitoring or specialized medical support during transport. Whether you’re transporting a patient from one healthcare facility to another or providing critical care on the move, we ensure that every aspect of the transfer is handled with the utmost professionalism and care.
What is High Dependency Unit (HDU) Transport?
High Dependency Unit (HDU) transport is designed for patients who require intensive monitoring and medical support during transit. These patients are generally too unstable for standard transport but do not require full critical care as in an ICU (Intensive Care Unit). HDU transport typically involves patients who have undergone major surgeries, are suffering from severe medical conditions, or are recovering from a life-threatening illness or injury.
Our HDU transport service ensures that patients who need continuous monitoring, specialized equipment, and skilled medical professionals receive the highest level of care throughout their journey.
When is HDU Transport Required?
HDU transport is required when a patient is in a high-risk medical state, but their condition is stable enough that they can be safely moved from one healthcare setting to another. Common situations include:
- Post-surgery recovery where patients need close monitoring for complications.
- Cardiovascular patients who require constant monitoring of vital signs and may need medication adjustments.
- Respiratory patients needing oxygen therapy, continuous ventilation, or other respiratory assistance during transport.
- Neurological patients who require constant observation, especially after brain surgery, head injuries, or strokes.
- Patients recovering from critical illness who need more care than a standard ambulance can provide.
If you are in need of specialized transport for a patient in a high-dependency state, AMG’s HDU transport services can ensure the safe and efficient journey, with highly trained staff and equipment on board.
