Cardiac Ambulance in Bangalore
A cardiac ambulance is our ACLS unit — Advanced Cardiac Life Support. It is the vehicle to ask for when the emergency is a heart event, or when a cardiac patient is being transferred and needs monitoring and defibrillation capability available the whole way.
Dispatch answers 24 hours a day, every day. For an emergency, calling is fastest.
What the ACLS ambulance carries
Beyond standard advanced life support, the cardiac unit adds:
- Defibrillator (AED)
- Cardiac monitor and multi-parameter monitor
- Ventilator, with BiPAP and CPAP
- Oxygen support, suction machine, infusion and syringe pumps
- Spine board and scoop stretcher
- Air-conditioned cabin
- A trained critical-care paramedic
If you think someone is having a heart attack
Call for an ambulance immediately rather than driving the patient yourself — the monitoring and equipment on board are precisely why an ambulance is safer than a car for a suspected cardiac event. Tell dispatch it is a cardiac case so the right unit is assigned from the start.
Cardiac transfers between hospitals
Moving a cardiac patient to a facility with specialist cardiac care is a routine reason to book an ACLS unit. Have both hospital names and any instruction from the treating cardiologist ready when you call.
How to book an ambulance
Call, or book online
For an emergency, calling is fastest — dispatch answers 24/7. For a planned transfer you can book online and choose pickup, drop and ambulance type yourself.
Confirm the ambulance type
Tell us what the patient needs, or choose in the booking form. If you are unsure, describe the situation on the call and we will advise which vehicle is appropriate.
Track it to your door
Once a unit is assigned you get live GPS tracking and a pickup OTP, so you can watch the ambulance approaching instead of guessing.
Frequently asked questions
What is an ACLS ambulance?
Advanced Cardiac Life Support — an ambulance carrying a defibrillator, cardiac and multi-parameter monitoring and ventilator support, staffed by a trained critical-care paramedic. It is the vehicle used for cardiac emergencies and cardiac patient transfers.
Should I call an ambulance or drive to the hospital for chest pain?
Call an ambulance. A cardiac ambulance can monitor the patient and intervene on the way, which a private car cannot, and the crew can alert the receiving hospital.
Does the cardiac ambulance have a defibrillator?
Yes. The ACLS unit carries a defibrillator (AED) along with cardiac and multi-parameter monitoring.
