A first aid package for emergency use in the field for treating and transporting seriously burned patients. The first aid package comprises a soft resilient water absorbent foam material placed on a flexible waterproof outer covering having a pair of interlocking portions. A sterile sheet is placed over the resilient foam material and the sheet and the foam are saturated with an aqueous solution. The burn patient is placed on the sterile sheet and completely covered by the sterile sheet thereby enclosing the patient in a sterile atmosphere. An aqueous solution is then poured over the sheet so as to completely saturate the sheet and the uppermost portion of the patient. The cooperating interlocking portions of the flexible waterproof covering are placed completely around the sheet and the patient and locked into position thereby maintaining the patient in a sterile moist atmosphere. Openings are provided in the waterproof covering to provide access to the patient's arms and legs for intravenous blood transfusions should that be necessary. A pair of flexible straps located on each side of the waterproof outer covering provide the means for transporting the patient while in the sterile and moist protective cocoon environment. |

A bed and a stretcher for permitting transferring of a patient from a stretcher over to a bed, or visa versa. The bed has a plurality of supporting ledges arranged in parallel with a uniform spacing and set in place on the main bed frame in a horizontal manner. A vertically traveling frame that has a plurality of uniformily spaced supporting ledges arranged in parallel in a horizontal manner is so set in place as to be movable in a vertical direction relative to the main bed frame, whereby the supporting ledges of the traveling frame are caused to be inserted into or pass through the spaces between the supporting ledges of the bed frame. The stretcher has a pair of spaced supporting bars and a supporting member for supporting a patient. One of the supporting bars is fixed on one end of the supporting member, and the other supporting bar is arranged to be connected with, and separated from, the other end of the supporting member. The stretcher and bed are combined with each other in such a manner that the supporting member of the stretcher is inserted into the spaces formed between respective adjoining supporting ledges of the vertically traveling frame. |

SHAW K |
A stretcher for supporting, immobilizing and carrying an injured person without substantial postural disturbance, and a method for supporting the injured person in the stretcher. A number of elongated support slats are placed under the injured person in generally parallel relation and an elongated frame, which is boxlike with open top and bottom sides, is placed over the injured person to closely surround both the person and the support slats. The slats and the person are supported in the frame by a number of rods subsequently inserted in the frame to extend across it, beneath, and generally at right-angles to the slats, the rods having end portions extending through holes in the frame and being secured against axial movement. Immobilization of the injured person is achieved with the addition of inflatable pillows placed over and around the injured person and held in position by a top panel and additional rods inserted in the frame to prevent upward movement of the pillows. The assembled stretcher can then be lifted as a unitary structure, and the injured person can be safely carried over rough terrain. Another embodiment incorporates a flatter frame and is particularly well suited for lifting bedridden persons.

A victim retrieval apparatus for use with a vehicle. In some embodiments, the rescue basket comprises one or more wheels. The articulating head of the boom comprises a rotatable pulley for receiving the rescue line and is able to allow the vehicle to be parked in any position necessary while rescuing the victim. A knot-passing pulley enables a safety line (with emergency brake device) to be coupled to the basket thereby ensuring the safety of the victim in the basket at all times. The rescue basket comprises a remote control for controlling the winch speed that is able to be located at the winch itself, or be of a hand-held nature and attached at the rescue basket instead of at the vehicle if visual contact is problematic. |

A method for a two person rescue team to rescue an incapacitated person from a hazardous environment includes a wheeled platform with a contoured recess shaped to accommodate an air pack. The platform is sufficiently low to the ground so that a transported person, as well as the rescue personnel can be kept below the heat in an inflamed building. The platform straddles a water hose which is used as an escape path by the rescue team to extract the incapacitated person. |
