    A new Mobile Intensive Care Unit (MICU) is operational in Belgium, designed for efficient single-patient treatment and equipped for advanced medical care during transport.

    Area of Science:

    • Emergency Medicine
    • Medical Vehicle Design

    Background:

    • The
    • Service 900
    • of the Ministry of Health in Belgium required an upgraded Mobile Intensive Care Unit (MICU).
    • Existing transport solutions may not have adequately addressed patient comfort and medical equipment needs during transit.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and describe the features of a newly implemented Mobile Intensive Care Unit (MICU).
    • To highlight the design considerations for patient safety and medical efficiency during transport.

    Main Methods:

    • Vehicle design focused on single-patient treatment capacity.
    • Suspension system selected for patient comfort, mitigating travel sickness.
    • Integration of radio-communication systems for seamless connectivity.
