There are many types of emergency stretchers. Which ones do you know?

Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, the emergency stretcher will serve as one of the indispensable rescue tools. And it has many types and different names. According to its structure, function and material characteristics, it can be divided into three categories: simple stretcher, general stretcher and special purpose stretcher. Simple stretcher is a temporary stretcher made of local materials when there is a lack of stretchers or insufficient stretchers. It is mainly a temporary stretcher made of two sturdy long poles with blankets, clothes and other sturdy fabrics, which can be used to cope with the transfer of wounded in emergency situations. General stretcher mainly refers to a standard stretcher with uniform specifications. It does not emphasize appearance, but is mainly practical. Special stretcher is a special stretcher designed for special climate, terrain, characteristics of the wounded and sick, etc., which is not suitable for transfer using general stretcher.

1. Shovel stretcher

The shovel emergency stretcher can minimize the secondary injury to the patient's spine during transportation. We mainly use it for seriously injured people. If used by seriously injured people, the probability of accidents can be reduced.

2. Patient fixation board

Patient fixation boards are mainly used for patients with fractures. For example, spinal boards can be used to fix and transport patients with spinal injuries. They can also be used to transport patients with fractures in other parts of the body with splints.

3. Suspended basket emergency stretcher

The structure of the suspended basket emergency stretcher is mainly based on the extensiveness, flexibility and specificity of emergency treatment. For example, we need to use this stretcher when performing rescue in the air or at sea. Its frame is sturdy and durable, and its simple and reliable device allows operators to take emergency measures safely and quickly, and its hook can be connected to the hook on the aircraft to achieve field rescue.

No matter which emergency stretcher we use, we need to pay attention to the use of different stretchers for different injuries. When lifting the injured onto the stretcher, we must fasten the seat belt to prevent falling.
