Abstract: A device for emergency transport of pediatric patients that safely and efficiently transports a pediatric patient to a medical facility is described. The device facilitates a variety of rapid attachment mechanisms to support emergency medical personnel's ongoing need to quickly transport pediatric patients despite continuously, significantly changing specifications for conventional stretchers. Additionally, the device provides for safer, more stable transport of infants and more effective treatment of children with severe temperature imbalances.

Abstract: A device for emergency transport of pediatric patients that safely and efficiently transports a pediatric patient to a medical facility is described. The device enables the transport of pediatric trauma patients on a conventional stretcher while still enabling a backboard to be used therewith to immobilize a critically-injured patient. Additionally, the device provides for more comfortable and sanitary transport of a pediatric patient by adding a disposable padded cushion, which is placed on the device prior to placing the child in the device for emergency transport.
