The Department of Emergency Medicine will feature a dashboard displaying real-time GPS data, speed, and the ambulance's current position.
Critical health indicators such as heart rate, oxygen saturation, non-invasive blood pressure, and end-tidal CO₂ will be shown on a centralized monitor within the department.
The upgraded ambulance also includes a portable ECMO system and battery-operated mechanical chest compression devices, which can be used when required. The mechanical chest compression system delivers continuous compressions automatically, enhancing the efficiency of resuscitation efforts.
