Abstract

Powered patient transport/support apparatuses—such as medical beds, gurneys, and surgical tables, that include various modifications to existing equipment which provide the caregiver a more efficient way to provide transport care to the patient. Telescoping arm systems, counterweight stability units, and zero-turn chassis give the caregiver the ability to move a patient without any additional assistance, thus reducing potential injury and secondary errors. Touchscreen monitors coupled with other vital sign monitoring equipment give the caregiver real in-time assessment of patient's condition while in transit. Rechargeable batteries are charged and stored on the docking station for easy access. Sensors detect proper weight distribution and adjust to provide stability to the patient when being moved from one place to another. Drone capabilities are available for the military version to actively search out wounded soldiers in the field without having to put more soldiers on the ground. Autoclave drawers are used for sanitation purposes on the Surgical Center to ensure all equipment gets properly cleaned before, during, and after an invasive procedure.
