TransHospital walk-around

The layout for a typical 84-bed TransHospital® Combat Support Hospital configuration is depicted in the image below.  This highly mobile, self-contained unit is scalable to the exact size required by users, utilizing ISO hardwall 8 ft. X 8 ft. X 20 ft. containers and inflatable softwall shelters as modular building-block units. 

TransHospital’s hardwall containers perform specific functions as noted in each of the three zones, and they also serve to transport the Combat Support Hospital’s support material (including equipment, systems and the softwall containers) during deployment.  Move the cursor over the image to highlight a hospital zone, then click to learn more about its specific functions:

Zone B – Operating/surgical ward Zone C – Patient ward area Zone A – Ambulant/outpatient area

Zone A – Ambulant/outpatient area

This is the Combat Support Hospital’s entry point, where patients would be screened for the level of care required.  Minor medical care treatment such as dentistry, inoculations, etc., would be handled here.  The zone typically consists of five TransHospital ISO hardwall containers and four softwall shelters.  Hardwall containers are used for the X-ray unit and laboratory.  Softshell-based units function as the reception/triage area, pharmacy and bulk supply area, and the advanced trauma life support (ATLS) facility.  Also housed in a softwall shelter is the interchange clinic, which is used for processing, administration and other functions – and which also serves as the transfer point into the TransHospital’s clinic and surgical sections.

Zone B – Operating/surgical ward

Sterile conditions are maintained in this section of the TransHospital Combat Support Hospital, which includes double-sided expandable hardwall shelters as the operation preparation (pre-op) area and the fully-equipped operating room – which is sized to allow two surgical teams to work in parallel.   Non-expandable hardwall shelters are used as the sterilization module, as well as a transfer area from the sterile portion of the Combat Support Hospital into the facility’s clean zones.  All of the hardwall shelters are interconnected by via walk-through passageways with air-tight/water-tight seals.  Completing the TransHospital’s operating/surgical ward area is a softshell shelter for central material supply.

Zone C – Patient ward area

The patient ward area provides both intensive and intermediate care, and is composed of softshell shelters with corresponding hardwall support modules – all of which are linked by walk-through passageways.  The intensive care unit uses two softshell shelters with 12 beds each, plus the related support equipment.  Three softshell shelters serve as the intermediate care ward, containing 20 patient beds each.
