  • the present invention is directed to a multi-injured aquatic rescue team that basically comprises the following elements: a floating rescue stretcher; a spinal board attachable to the stretcher; and an anchoring means between the stretcher and the board. Each of these elements is described in more detail below.
  • This stretcher has an upper rescue surface designed to receive a rescued person comprising an essentially rectangular flat central cavity which is recessed relative to said rescue surface and open towards the foot edge of said stretcher.
  • the cavity on the upper surface of the stretcher has a parallelepiped volume delimited by three vertical walls on the head and side sides, but open on the side that corresponds to the foot side of the stretcher. As will be described later, this open side will allow the spinal board to be inserted in cases where it travels on rails. Furthermore, the depth of the cavity in relation to the upper surface of the stretcher is small, for example about 3-5 cm, since it essentially corresponds to the thickness of the spinal board. b) Spinal board
  • the spinal board has longitudinal and transverse dimensions only slightly lower than the dimensions of the central cavity of the stretcher, so that when it is inserted into it only thin grooves remain separating the walls of the cavity from the edges of the spinal board. Furthermore, the thickness of the spinal board essentially coincides with the depth of the central cavity of the stretcher. Therefore, when the spinal board is completely inserted into the cavity of the stretcher, the upper surface of the stretcher-board assembly that constitutes the equipment of the invention is essentially flat, allowing its use for all purposes as if it were a one-piece rescue board. Only in cases where it is necessary, it is possible to remove the spinal board where the victim or injured person who is assisted in the rescue action is immobilized, if it is suspected that they may have a spinal injury.
  • the bottom of the stretcher cavity is essentially flat and large enough that it is still possible to use the stretcher as a rescue board in the absence of the spinal board.
  • a rescue action in an aquatic environment in which assistance is provided to a first victim who is transported from the aquatic environment to the mainland in the rescue equipment proposed in this invention. If it is suspected that this first victim may have spinal injuries, the spinal board of the rescue stretcher will be removed to be used as a stretcher to transport the injured person in the terrestrial environment (for example, an ambulance), without the need to transfer the victim to another stretcher typical of the terrestrial environment.
  • the anchoring means are configured to fix the spinal board to the stretcher when the board is housed in the cavity of said stretcher.
  • the specific configuration of the anchoring means will be described in greater detail later in this document.
  • the rescue team of the invention includes the stretcher with the board spinal fixed to it within the corresponding cavity.
  • the spinal board fits flush into said cavity or recessed area of the upper surface of the stretcher, and is fixed to said stretcher with the help of the anchoring means. Therefore, a compact set is obtained that the rescue professional can use in a normal way to paddle to the place where the person to rescue is.
  • the rescue professional then places the person to rescue on the spinal board attached to the stretcher and tows the equipment to the mainland or a rescue boat or other suitable means.
  • the rescue professional acts on the anchoring means to uncouple the spinal board from the stretcher.
  • the rescued person can be transported by ambulance to the hospital on that same spinal board, thus avoiding the need to transfer him to another board, stretcher or similar element.
  • the spinal board can be installed inside the stretcher cavity in any suitable way.
  • it can simply be placed on the bottom of the cavity by lowering it vertically until it fits into it.
  • a rail system is used whereby the board is inserted into the cavity of the stretcher in a longitudinal direction from the foot edge of the stretcher where the open side of the cavity.
  • a lower surface of the spinal board comprises longitudinal rails
  • the bottom of the central cavity of the stretcher comprises longitudinal grooves open towards the foot edge of the stretcher.
  • the grooves of the stretcher slidably receive the rails of the spinal panel, thus guiding it until it is completely inserted into the cavity of the stretcher.
  • This configuration is advantageous because it facilitates a controlled extraction of the spinal board from the cavity of the stretcher. This is particularly important when the rescued person is on the spinal board and it must be transferred to dry land or a rescue boat in bad sea conditions or in storm.
  • the anchoring means can be designed in different ways as long as they allow the spinal board to be safely coupled to the rescue stretcher, as well as the spinal board to be detached from the rescue stretcher in a quick and simple way.
  • the anchoring means comprise:
  • First holes in the stretcher cavity are first vertical axis holes arranged at the bottom of the stretcher cavity.
  • it may be four holes arranged two by two in positions close to the side walls that delimit the central cavity.
  • the stems are configured to alternate between an interior position to said first holes and an exterior position to said first holes.
  • the insertion and removal of the rods can be carried out, for example, with the help of a spring that drives the rods towards the outer position, so that a first press on the rods introduces them into the first corresponding hole and anchors them in said inner position , and a second pulsation on the rods releases them and causes them to exit to the outer position due to the force of the spring.
  • the stems of this preferred embodiment comprise an upper end provided with a fixing projection.
  • the fixing projection refers to any protrusion or projection protruding from the rods in a radial direction.
  • the stems can take an essentially inverted L shape, where the foot of the L constitutes the fixing projection. Thanks to this configuration, when a stem is in the interior position, the L-pillar is inside the first corresponding hole and the L-foot protrudes from it in the horizontal direction. When a stem is in the outer position, a substantial portion of the L-pillar protrudes vertically from the first hole.
  • the stems are rotatable about the vertical axis. This allows the orientation of the fixation protrusion to be modified to allow anchoring and dismounting of the spinal board to the stretcher in the manner described below.
  • the second holes are arranged in the spinal board in a position coincident with the position of the first holes located in the stretcher when the spinal board is completely inserted into the cavity of the stretcher. That is, the second holes in the spinal board are positioned such that when the board is fully inserted into the cavity, they are coaxial with the first holes in the stretcher.
  • the second holes can also be arranged two by two in positions close to the lateral edges of the spinal board.
  • the second holes are configured so that they only allow the upper end of the rods to pass through in a certain angular opening position.
  • the second holes can have an elongated shape, for example an essentially rectangular shape.
  • the rods in said angular opening position can be moved to the outer position through the second holes. Subsequently, they can be rotated around the vertical axis to a different rotational position from the angular opening position, leaving the fixing projections locked against the edge of the second holes and thus preventing any movement of the spinal board.
  • these anchoring means is advantageous because they allow quick coupling and uncoupling of the spinal board to the rescue stretcher. Especially important is the speed of the decoupling, since it must be done with the rescued person prostrate on the spinal board and possibly in bad sea conditions such as strong waves. It starts from the rescue situation in which the spinal board is fixed to the stretcher, and therefore the rods are in the outer position, passing through the second holes of the spinal board, and rotated in a different position from the angular opening position. . In this situation, the rescue professional only has to manually rotate the rods, grasping them by the respective fixing projections until they move them to the angular opening position. Then press down on the upper end of the rods to overcome the resistance of the spring and anchor them in their inner position. The spinal board is thus decoupled from the stretcher and can be separated from it. In the event that the rails are attached to the stretcher, the rescue professional simply pulls the spinal board longitudinally towards the foot of the stretcher until it is completely removed.
  • the side of the cavity open towards the foot edge of the stretcher comprises a plane inclined downwards from the bottom of the cavity to a lower surface of the stretcher.
  • this inclined plane is advantageous because it facilitates the lifting of a rescued person in those cases in which the rescue stretcher is used without the spinal board attached to it. In addition, it facilitates the exit of water that may be trapped in the cavity of the stretcher. On the other hand, it can also help guide the rails of the spinal panel during an insertion maneuver in the corresponding grooves at the bottom of the cavity in difficult sea conditions.
  • the spinal board comprises a cervical immobilizer. More preferably, the cervical stationary lifter is folded inside a sealed compartment with a lid located in a head portion of said spinal board.
  • This feature is very advantageous because it allows a cervical immobilizer to be transported at all times along with the spinal board for use if necessary. At times when not in use, the top surface of the watertight compartment lid is flush with the rest of the top surface of the spine board, thus allowing the equipment of the invention to be used as a conventional salvage board. If necessary, the rescue professional simply removes the cervical immobilizer from the waterproof compartment, unfolds it, and fixes the rescued person's head to it.
  • the cervical immobilizer can be designed in different ways as long as it can be folded into the watertight compartment of the spinal panel and whenever it allows quick and easy deployment.

  • the lateral support plates are designed to be on both sides of the rescued person's head in order to immobilize it.
  • Plates can normally take an essentially square or rectangular shape, and are fixed in such a way that they are contained in a vertical plane parallel to the longitudinal axis in two positions on either side of the longitudinal axis of the spinal panel and spaced a distance somewhat greater than dimensions of the width of a human head. That is, the distance between the two lateral support plates, once fixed to the bottom of the watertight compartment, could be approximately between 25 cm and 40 cm (that is, between 12.5 cm and 20 cm on each side of the axis longitudinal of the spinal board).

  • fixing can be carried out through fixing means consisting of a first element arranged on the bottom edge of the plates and a second element arranged on the bottom of the watertight compartment.
  • the bottom of the watertight compartment may have fixing grooves arranged in the aforementioned positions and the lower edge may have projections configured to snap into said grooves.

  • the second end of the rod may have a complementary hook or claw with a gripping element arranged in the upper edge of the second plate.

That is, in the unfolded position, the rod is attached to the upper edges of both plates, and both plates are furthermore fixed to the bottom of the watertight compartment in a vertical position. In this way, a rigid structure is generated, essentially in the form of a portal frame, inside which the head of the rescued person can be inserted for immobilization.

  • the spinal board insert (6) has fixing means with the spinal board (3) which, in this example, take the form of three rods that are inserted into corresponding holes in the foot edge of the spinal board (3).
  • the equipment (1) of the invention also has a second cavity (7) in a head portion of the stretcher (2) to house an oxygen bottle. This would allow oxygen to be delivered to the rescued person rather than having to wait for arrival on land or on a ship.
  • the oxygen bottle would preferably be of the disposable type, so that once used it should be replaced by a new bottle, thus ensuring a good state of use at all times.

Abstract

Le sauvetage d'une personne atteinte de lésions multiples dans un milieu aquatique, particulièrement s'il existe des doutes quant à la présence de lésions médullaires, est extrêmement compliqué en raison du risque d'aggravation de la lésion qui est supposée. La présente invention protège un nouveau matériel qui facilite le sauvetage et l'immobilisation d'une personne atteinte de lésions multiples dans un milieu aquatique, de sorte à minmiser les risques d'aggravation des lésions, plus spécialement s'il y a des lésions médullaires. La présente invention comprend: comme éléments séparés : un brancard de secours; un panneau pour la colonne; et des moyens d'ancrage entre le brancard et le panneau, avec une cavité spécifique configurée pour loger une bouteille d'oxygène.
