Abstract - Ambulance transportation is a crucial element of emergency medical services, with the primary goal of quickly transporting patients from accident sites to hospitals. However, the comfort of patients during ambulance transport is often compromised due to the shocks and vibrations transmitted through the uneven road surface. These vibrations can cause additional injuries to the patient and discourage paramedics from providing necessary emergency care.
The aim of this project is to investigate the vibrations experienced by patients during ambulance transport and develop new methodologies to mitigate them. Our research will focus on identifying the factors contributing to patient discomfort during ambulance transport and exploring innovative solutions to address them, including suspension systems, cushioning, shock absorbers, and dampers.
As part of our investigation, we will explore the potential of adding shock absorbers and dampers to the stretcher to reduce the transmission of harmful vibrations to the patient. We will evaluate the effectiveness of these solutions through experimental testing and simulation, and refine the design based on the results.
Our project has the potential to significantly improve the comfort of patients during ambulance transport and enhance the quality of care and patient outcomes. The key words for our research include ambulance transport, patient comfort, vibration mitigation, shock absorbers, and dampers.
By mitigating the harmful effects of vibrations, we aim to contribute to the development of new and innovative ambulance stretcher designs that can provide better comfort and safety for patients during transport.
