Intensive transport in Zell am See, Austria and Europe
When seriously ill or intensive care patients need to be transferred to another hospital or repatriated from abroad, careful planning and professional medical support are crucial. Grünes Kreuz organizes intensive transports from the Zell am See location within Austria as well as cross-border throughout Europe.
Our modern equipped intensive transport vehicles enable the necessary medical monitoring and treatment to continue during the journey. Experienced paramedics and medical specialists accompany the patient according to their health condition and the medical requirements of the transport.
Emergency notice:
In case of an acute life-threatening medical emergency in Austria, please immediately dial the emergency number 144. Our request form is intended for organized intensive transports, inter-hospital transfers and medical repatriations.
Medically escorted intensive care transports with the utmost care
An intensive care transport is far more than a trip from one place to another. Throughout the entire transfer, medical care must remain tailored to the patient’s condition. This includes reliable monitoring, professional care, and the ability to continue necessary medical measures during transport.
Grünes Kreuz plans each intensive care patient transport individually. In doing so, we take into account the current health situation, medical instructions, the transport route, and the requirements of the referring and receiving medical facility.
Depending on medical needs, a suitably qualified transport team is assembled. In addition to specially trained paramedics, medical escorting may also be required, for example from the field of anaesthesiology and intensive care medicine.
When is an intensive transport necessary?
An intensive transport may be required if a patient needs continuous medical monitoring or treatment during the journey. This may be the case, for example, in the event of a serious illness, after an accident, after an operation, or if a transfer to a specialised hospital is necessary.
Typical areas of operation include:
- Transfers between hospitals
- Transports to a specialised tertiary care hospital
- Return transports to the home hospital
- Transports after intensive care treatment
- Medically accompanied repatriations from abroad
- Cross-border clinic transports
- Transports of patients requiring monitoring or intensive care
- Longer patient transports within Austria and Europe
Which type of transport and medical escort are required is determined based on the patient’s health condition and the medical requirements.
Clinic transfers and inter-hospital transports in Austria
Not every hospital can offer all examinations, therapies or specialised treatments. For this reason, it may be necessary to transfer a patient from one clinic to a tertiary care hospital or another medical facility.
In such an inter-hospital transport, it is particularly important to continue the required monitoring and ongoing medical care as continuously as possible during the journey. Our intensive care transport vehicles provide the necessary medical and technical equipment for this.
We organise intensive transports from our Zell am See base to hospitals and medical facilities throughout Austria. Return transfers to the original home hospital can also be carried out following appropriate medical coordination.
Europe-wide intensive transports and medical return transports
A serious illness or an accident abroad often presents patients and their relatives with major organisational and emotional challenges. If the patient is far away from their place of residence, a medically accompanied return transport to a clinic in Austria may become necessary.
Grünes Kreuz provides Europe-wide intensive transports and medical repatriations. Our transports particularly often go to Germany, Italy, France, and Switzerland. Depending on the location and state of health, we organise the appropriate transport solution and coordinate the transfer with the medical facilities involved.
During longer journeys, the focus is on safety, medical care and transporting the patient as gently as possible. If required, the return transport is carried out with an intensive care transport vehicle as a mobile or “moving ICU”.
Modern intensive care transport vehicles for demanding transfers
Grünes Kreuz has two intensive care transport vehicles. The vehicles are equipped for medically demanding patient transports and offer the necessary options for monitoring and care during the journey.
Which equipment and which medical measures are required for a transport depends on the patient’s condition and the medical instructions. Before the transfer, the individual requirements are therefore clarified and the vehicle is prepared accordingly.
In addition to the medical and technical equipment, safe positioning, a transport that is as calm as possible, and a professional handover at the destination also play an important role.
Experienced specialist staff and medical expertise
The safe care of patients is Grünes Kreuz’s top priority. Our team consists of experienced paramedics and emergency paramedics as well as medical specialist staff. Depending on requirements, doctors with the relevant specialist expertise are also available, including from the fields of anaesthesiology and intensive care medicine.
Regular training and further education help our team to carry out medically demanding transports safely and professionally. The GAMTI Corporate Certification and the participation of employees in the DIVI-certified course “EINFach Intensivtransport” underline Grünes Kreuz’s high professional standards in the field of intensive transports.
