In our daily life, we often come across ambulances on the street with sirens blaring, and we always wonder how the seating arrangement in an ambulance is done. It is clear to us that ambulance seats are carefully designed by seat manufacturers to improve efficiency, safety and care. Xiamen Van Seat not only specializes in van seats, but also in ambulance seats, which are manufactured and sold to strict safety standards. Now let's explore where people sit in ambulances and why it's so important.

1、Front Passenger Seat

In the event of an emergency, responding to an emergency call, paramedics or EMTs generally sit in the front passenger seat to ensure that they can be the first to operate the siren, lights, radio, GPS system navigation and preparation equipment.

2、Bench Seat

After the patient is lifted to the stretcher, the nursing staff or first aiders will move to the bench, which is located next to the stretcher.

It is very convenient for medical staff to use medical equipment and medical supplies in time to provide effective care for patients.

3、Airway Seat(Captain's Chair)

Nowadays, ambulances are generally equipped with rear-facing “airway seats”, which can not only provide a stable and safe position for the medical staff, but also provide timely handling of key airway management for the nursing staff, and facilitate the medical staff to perform key interventions such as intubation or drug administration.

4、Jump Seat

When the ambulance is approaching the hospital, the paramedic will move to the folding seat near the head of the stretcher to monitor the vital signs of the patient at the last moment of transfer and prepare documents for handover with the hospital staff.

Safety is one of the most basic requirements of ambulance design, whether it is for the paramedic, the patient or the accompanying person.

- Even when treating a patient, it is important to ensure that all personnel in the vehicle are wearing seat belts.

- Stretchers must be restrained, with the patient strapped to the stretcher and the stretcher locked to the floor of the ambulance.

- Ambulance seats need to be crash-tested in a design that complies with ISO and EN safety standards.

Seating arrangements inside ambulance vehicles are carefully designed, with each position serving a specific purpose, to provide efficient and effective medical care, maximizing the balance of functionality, accessibility and safety.Xiamen Van Seat has always provided the safest and most practical ambulance seating solutions, if you are interested you can browse through our ambulance seats.
