The Madrid Community Emergency Medical Service, SUMMA 112, has renewed its Advanced Life Support (ALS) fleet with 43 new mobile ICU ambulances, all equipped with an on-board communications and computer system developed by ALTECH.

The new ambulances are designed to handle life-threatening situations that occur on public roads or at patients’ homes, as well as transport critical patients between hospitals in the region.

The new vehicles incorporate significant improvements in safety and sustainability, and have been equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment (a cardiocompressor, ventilator, dual infusion pump, defibrillator, and electric stretcher).

Additionally, ALTECH has supplied various onboard communications and IT equipment (a tablet PC, portable printer, onboard computer, temperature probes, GPS navigator, and Tetra communications) designed to operate in the most adverse situations and in the critical environment of emergency medical care, always within a mobile environment.

Doctors, nurses, and Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) will be able to use SUMMA 112 applications through ALTECH equipment to carry out their work both from the Advanced Life Support vehicle itself and from the locations where medical care is provided.

The suite of applications and hardware designed and developed by ALTECH allows for the management and control of the emergency service fleet. The implemented solution’s basic premises are to optimize available resources, guarantee communications and data integrity, and minimize emergency medical assistance response times.
