Bal Chikitsalaya, Delhi. The baby required continuous ventilator support, highlighting the

importance of specialized care during transport.

Case Overview

The neonate, being extremely low birth weight and premature, was highly vulnerable and

required continuous monitoring and advanced life support. Life Savers ensured ICU-level

deployed. The ambulance was equipped to provide:

• Advanced ventilator support for neonates

• Continuous ICU-level monitoring and emergency interventions

• Safe, bed-to-bed transfer from one hospital to another

The medical team, trained in neonatal critical care, ensured:

• Proper stabilization and ventilator settings before departure

• Continuous observation of vitals and oxygenation during transit

• Emergency interventions on standby, including suctioning, medication administration,

and resuscitation if required

Arrival and Handover

The infant arrived safely at Chacha Nehru Bal Chikitsalaya, Delhi, where the receiving NICU

team was provided a complete handover:

• Ventilator settings and oxygen support details

• Medications administered during transport

• Observations and interventions performed en route
