Quantifying Patient Vibration Patterns During Ambulance Bus (AMBUS) Ground Transport

Abstract

Dynamic motion and vibration can affect patient comfort, disease and injury management, and health outcomes during military emergency evacuation. This study sought to characterize and assess the low frequency vibration exposures encountered by the supine litter patient during AMBUS ground transport. The AMBUS test route was a modification of the AE personnel training route used at Wright-Patterson AFB OH.
