Roll up evacuation mattress

A roll-up patient-evacuation mattress, comprising:

• a bottom sheet having a head end and a foot end;
• a mattress disposed above the bottom sheet;
• a first plastic support sheet disposed between the bottom sheet and the mattress;
• a second plastic support sheet disposed beneath the bottom sheet;
• a patient support sheet disposed above the mattress, the patient support sheet having a left wing and a right wing which are dimensioned to respectively enclose at least portions of left and right sides of a patient lying on the patient support sheet;
• and
• a foot section coupled to the bottom sheet and dimensioned to substantially enclose the patient-evacuation mattress when the bottom sheet, the mattress, and the patient support sheet are rolled from the head end to the foot end in a direction substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the patient-evacuation mattress into said foot section,
• wherein each of the first plastic support sheet and the second plastic support sheet comprises two plastic sheet layers having plural connecting plastic portions extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the patient-evacuation mattress.

A patient-evacuation mattress, comprising:

• a flexible bottom plastic sheet having a head end and a foot end;
• a first semi-rigid plastic sheet disposed above the bottom sheet;
• a foam mattress disposed above the first semi-rigid plastic sheet;
• a flexible plastic patient support sheet disposed above the foam mattress;
• a second semi-rigid plastic sheet disposed below the bottom sheet;
• and
• at least two spinal boards disposed between the bottom sheet and the first semi-rigid plastic sheet, each spinal board extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the patient-evacuation mattress and having at least three wheel assemblies coupled to a bottom surface thereof,
• the bottom sheet and the second semi-rigid plastic sheet each having at least one opening therein configured so that the spinal board wheel assemblies extend therethrough.

A patient-evacuation sled, comprising:

• a bottom sheet having a top end, a bottom end, a right side, and a left side;
• a mattress disposed above the bottom sheet;
• a rigid support member disposed between the bottom sheet and the mattress and extending from a middle of the bottom sheet toward the left and right sides thereof;
• at least two spinal boards disposed between the bottom sheet and the mattress, each spinal board extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the patient-evacuation mattress and having at least three wheel assemblies coupled to a bottom surface thereof;
• each of the three wheel assemblies being configured to extend through the bottom sheet;
• and
• a foot section coupled to the bottom sheet and configured to substantially enclose the feet of a patient lying above said mattress.

A patient-evacuation device, comprising:

• a bottom sheet having a top end, a bottom end, a right side, and a left side;
• a mattress disposed above the bottom sheet;
• a rigid support member disposed between the bottom sheet and the mattress and extending from a middle of the bottom sheet toward the left and right sides thereof;
• plural wheel assemblies coupled to the rigid member and configured to extend through the bottom sheet;
• and
• a left patient-enclosure flap coupled to the bottom sheet left side and configured to enclose at least a portion of a left side of a patient lying above said mattress;
• a right patient-enclosure flap coupled to the bottom sheet right side and configured to enclose at least a portion of a right side of a patient lying above said mattress;
• plural patient-enclosure straps coupled to the left and right patient-enclosure flaps and configured to secure the patient to the evacuation device;
• wherein the left and right patient-enclosure flaps are configured to leave permanently exposed the head and knees of the patient lying above said mattress;
• and
• a foot section coupled to the bottom sheet and dimensioned to substantially enclose the patient-evacuation device when the bottom sheet, the mattress, and the patient-enclosure flaps are rolled from the head end to the bottom end in a direction substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the patient-evacuation device into said foot section, wherein, when rolled into said foot section, the bottom sheet and the patient-enclosure flaps form a roll shape having a transvers cross section with (i)two substantially flat sides disposed at a substantial right angle with respect to each other, and (ii) a substantially quarter cylindrical side connected with the two substantially flat sides.
