ABSTRACT:
A stretcher for transporting injured and other persons is provided utilizing a conventional board which has been modified by forming valve stem bores and a pair of depressions therein for receiving inflatable supports. The supports are formed from flexible fluid-impermeable materials such as suitable plastics or elastomerics and include valves and valve stems for filling and releasing the supports with air. Conventional, manual pumps can be utilized by emergency personnel to inflate the support as as needed. The stretcher can be utilized with the supports deflated, partially or fully as required. When inflated, the supports provide maximum comfort and stabilization to the patient who may be kept on the stretcher for extended periods of time during transportation or treatment procedures.
