Critical Care Units

The Safest Transfer Possible

Acadian Ambulance’s Critical Care Transport (CCT) units provides a higher level of patient care for the most critically sick or injured patients being transported from hospital to hospital. Acadian’s CCT-designated ambulances are equipped and staffed as mobile intensive care units.

Acadian’s CCT Paramedics receive more than 100 hours of additional training in specialty areas including, but not limited to, cardiology, trauma, obstetrics and neonatology. This added capability provides the safest transfer possible for patients moving from remote emergency departments to definitive care facilities or between ICU and surgical facilities. Our physician-supervised crews interact with air medical crews, transport teams and ICU staff to provide a seamless transfer of care.

Bariatric Units

Secure and Comfortable Transportation

Acadian also specializes in the safe transport of bariatric patients. With 13 units, our medics have the ability to securely and comfortably transport larger patients, from 350 to 1,000 pounds. Our bariatric transport utilizes a specially designed gurney which is wider and can support more weight than a traditional gurney. In addition, our unique winch system and specially engineered aluminum ramps allow for smoother and safer loading and unloading of heavier patients.
