Shirdi to Visakhapatnam Critical Patient Transfer via Train Ambulance
Medical emergencies can happen anywhere, anytime — even when you’re far away from home. In such moments, having the right medical transfer partner can make all the difference. Life Savers Ambulance Service, a trusted name in critical care patient transportation across India, once again proved its expertise with a successful Train Ambulance transfer from Shirdi to Visakhapatnam.
Case Summary: Journey from Faith to Recovery
A 65-year-old male, a known case of Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension, had travelled with his family to Shirdi for Darshan at Shri Sai Baba Temple. What was meant to be a spiritual visit turned into a medical emergency when the patient suddenly developed severe breathing difficulty.
He was immediately rushed to Shri Sai Baba Hospital, Shirdi, where the medical team diagnosed him with Acute Left Ventricular Failure (LVF) — a life-threatening heart condition that leads to fluid accumulation in the lungs and acute respiratory distress.
Emergency Medical Care at Shri Sai Baba Hospital
Upon admission, the patient was placed on BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) support to assist his breathing. The hospital’s medical team administered Lasix, NTG infusion, and other cardiac medications to manage fluid overload and reduce strain on the heart.
The treatment was closely monitored, and over 4–5 days of dedicated care, the patient began to respond positively. Gradually, his condition stabilized — the BiPAP support was withdrawn, and he was shifted to nasal oxygen therapy through a catheter.
Once his vitals were stable and he was declared fit for travel, his family decided to shift him back to their native place – Visakhapatnam, for further recovery and emotional comfort.
Life Savers Arranges a Fully Equipped ICU Train Ambulance
The family reached out to Life Savers Ambulance Service, India’s leading provider of long-distance medical transport solutions. Understanding the patient’s cardiac history and fragile condition by Doctors Team(PRE TRANSPORTATION ASSESSMENT OF PATIENT), our operations team promptly organized a Train Ambulance Service from Shirdi to Visakhapatnam with complete ICU setup and 24/7 medical supervision.

Expert Medical Escort Team
A Critical Care Doctor and a trained Paramedic accompanied the patient throughout the journey. Their role was not just to monitor vitals but also to be prepared for any medical contingency that could arise during the trip.
The medical team ensured continuous:
- Cardiac and oxygen monitoring
- BP, pulse, and respiration checks
- Medication management
- Positioning and comfort support
Throughout the journey, the patient remained stable and comfortable. The doctor maintained regular communication with the family, reassuring them and updating them about the patient’s condition.

Ground ambulances were arranged at both ends — one to transport the patient from hospital to the railway station in Shirdi, and another for home delivery in Visakhapatnam.
Each step was executed under strict medical supervision, ensuring safety, comfort, and continuous care. The seamless coordination between Life Savers’ ground and onboard teams ensured that the patient’s health was never compromised at any stage of the journey.
