Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved combination wheelchair-gurney apparatus. The improved wheelchair-gurney includes a pivoting back rest and foot rest which permit the wheelchair to be transformed into a gurney and vice versa. The combination wheelchair-gurney also includes transferring means associated with the foot rests, seat rest, and back rest which facilitate transferring a patient from the apparatus when in the gurney position to an adjacent bed or examining table. Furthermore, an additional wheel assembly is included which may provide support for the back rest when the apparatus is in the gurney position.
