ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an improved portable litter for the transportation of a patient from the field to a hospital. The litter has devices for monitoring and responding to the condition of the patient, including blood pressure, temperature, blood oxygen, heart rate, and mass. At least one device for assisting the patient's breathing and for stabilizing the heart are provided with the litter. The litter can be folded to reduce its length and provide for ready maneuverability in constricted quarters. Electronic equipment provided with the litter includes an electronic central processing unit and a visual display to permit emergency personnel to maintain a close watch on the patient's condition, and for real-time communication with hospital personnel. The litter has provisions for connection with external air and electrical power, and has lights for operation under conditions of reduced illumination.
