Got this PM from one of the members

"in our hospital we have an ambulance that is constructed as per western stds with the help of GWU USA
we call it not an ambulance but mobile ICU

usually it is used to transfer sick pts from and to our hospital
usualy an EM fellow accompanies the [atient and he intubates the pt/resuscitaes pt if needed"

I presume GWU is 'George Washington University'.

Has any one else got such a system of 'mobile ICU'
Are the EM fellows trained to undertake 'pre-hospital emergency anaesthesia'??
