ABSTRACT:
A bed has a mattress with a plurality of inflatable air sacs, a low-pressure compressed air blower, a pressure control system, and pipes for carrying gas from the blower to the sacs. A transport sheet extends over the air sacs and is attached to rollers at the ends of the bed. By winding the transport sheet on one roller and unwinding it from another roller, a patient can be moved across the bed and partly onto a wheelchair with its back rest removed. A lift mechanism on the bed raises the person to a seated position on the wheelchair, and the back rest is replaced behind the person.
