A design for the gurney to be inside of the ambulance but be able to get access to both side of the gurney. That would make it easier on the back!
We can get to both sides of the pt. in ours. Mind you, it takes a little squeezing in and "excuse me's" when moving around
I like that though ^ , being able to get to the pt. from 360degrees.
-Another thing would be better built in scene lighting, at night it can often be hard to find things and work in the dark, with the aid of flashlights.
-A fixed and a portable monitor/AED.
-Communications: I think we should be issued more handhelds for when on scene. Like have sitting in chargers in the back waiting for us to grab as we egress.
-Navigation (GPS w/ mappign software that shows the area and information (hydrants (more for firetrucks), landmarks, bridges (capacity), allies, 'short cuts', TRAFFIC)
-This may sound weird, but I thought this would be cool: surfaces that could be written on (and easily erased). Like near the jump seat, the 'desk' area could be made from the same surface as a white-board. Scribbling vitals/Hx can be hard, and this would just make things more accessible.
...just a few ideas.
Edited: MORE SAFETY! Not just restraints, but roll protection, airbags (?), warning devices, etc
