Abstract: The canopy system for an emergency gurney includes a gurney and a canopy, where the canopy is attached to the gurney by a left and right attachment mechanism so that the patient facial area can be covered with the canopy. The canopy can be adjustably positioned in a fully stowed position and a fully deployed position through a pivoting mechanism of the canopy system for an emergency gurney. The pivoting mechanism enables the canopy to move in between the fully stowed position and the fully deployed position so that the emergency personals are able to attend the patient while protecting the patient from the inclement weather and/or the hostile environmental conditions.
