Oxygen & Ambulance Services at Home

For any patient who needs respiratory support at home - whether due to a chronic condition such as COPD or heart failure, recovery after surgery, or the after-effects of a serious lung infection - oxygen and nebulizer therapy can be delivered safely in their own home. Care is provided by experienced, registered nurses, in coordination with the treating physician, so the patient receives their treatment comfortably in familiar surroundings, without unnecessary travel. Alongside this, our medical transport service ensures that every necessary journey - for an appointment, a procedure, or an emergency - takes place safely, with the right equipment on board and a nurse accompanying the patient throughout.

Who It’s For

This service is for any patient, regardless of age, who requires steady or intermittent oxygen supplementation or inhaled nebulizer therapy at home. It is equally relevant for those who cannot travel safely by conventional means to clinics, diagnostic centres, or hospitals. The transport service covers both planned, scheduled transfers and urgent situations that cannot wait.

What’s Included

  • Respiratory needs assessment in coordination with the treating physician: Before any equipment is provided, the patient’s needs are reviewed so the appropriate oxygen flow and nebulizer regimen are set as directed by the physician.
  • Home installation and safe operation of equipment: We set up a concentrator or cylinder system and a nebulizer in the patient’s home, configured to the prescribed specifications.
  • Nebulizer therapy administration: Inhaled treatment delivered as prescribed by the physician, with proper asepsis and equipment hygiene maintained throughout.
  • Oxygen flow rate setting and regular adjustment: Initial setup and periodic reassessment to ensure the prescribed flow remains appropriate as the patient’s condition evolves.
  • Training on equipment use: We explain the operation, daily maintenance, cleaning, and safety rules clearly and patiently to the patient and those around them - and provide written instructions to refer back to.
  • Ongoing SpO2 and vital signs monitoring by a nurse: Regular home visits to measure oxygen saturation and other key indicators, ensuring the therapy is achieving its intended effect.
  • Scheduled medical transport: A properly equipped vehicle for planned journeys to clinics, hospitals, diagnostic facilities, or specialist appointments.
  • Emergency hospital transfer: When the clinical situation demands urgent intervention, our team responds promptly with a fully equipped vehicle and trained personnel.
  • Nurse accompaniment: A nurse accompanies the patient on every transport, monitoring their condition throughout.

How It Works

  1. Assessment: Our nurse, in coordination with the treating physician, assesses respiratory needs, applies the oxygen flow and regimen that have been medically prescribed, and selects the most suitable equipment - so that everything provided is clinically appropriate, not simply rented out generically.

  2. Setup and training: Our team installs the equipment in the home, explains its operation and safety rules in plain, accessible language, and confirms that both the patient and those around them feel confident using it correctly. Written instructions are always provided, and we remain available to answer follow-up questions at any point.

  3. Ongoing monitoring and transport coverage: Scheduled nursing visits ensure the treatment remains effective and safe and allow for timely adjustments. For any transport need - planned or urgent - our team responds with a fully equipped vehicle and a nurse accompanying the patient throughout the journey.
