Abstract

The Motorcycle ambulances are a type of emergency vehicle which either carries a solo paramedic  or first  responder to a patient; or is used with a trailer or sidecar for transporting patients. Because of its size and performance, a motorcycle ambulance is able to respond to a medical emergency  much faster than a car, van, or fire truck in heavy traffic, which can increase survival rates for patients suffering cardiac arrest.
