Abstract

The invention finds application in the art of backboards for total immobilization of injured patients before or during ambulance transportation.
For this purpose, the invention addresses a pediatric backboard (2) that allows immobilization of an injured child when used alone; and partially forms and completes an adult backboard (1) when used within a structure (1a).
The backboard can also incorporate a restraint strap housing formed within the surface that receives the body of the adult patient.

Description

    SPECIFICATION
  • The present invention relates to a backboard for total immobilization of injured patients (children and adults) before or during ambulance transportation.
  • Two types of boards are known in the art:
    • a backboard composed of a single body having a main rigid surface large enough to receive the body and torso of an adult patient on one side thereof;
    • a smaller keyboard, large enough to receive a child.
  • In prior art, two backboards are required to be present in an ambulance.
  • Use of too large a backboard for a child would make immobilization more difficult and less accurate, wherefore two boards are generally installed in ambulances, with increased space requirements and difficulties in making the right choice.The ambulance is often parked at a certain distance from the accident and the age of the person to be rescued may be unknown, wherefore either both backboards are carried or there might be the risk of covering twice the path between the ambulance and the injured person, with considerable time losses.
  • The present invention has the object of obviating the above drawbacks by providing a pediatric backboard device that allows immobilization of an injured child when used alone; and partially forms and completes an adult backboard when used within a structure.
  • The apparent advantage of the device of the invention is that it provides a backboard large enough to receive the body and torso of an adult patient, which incorporates a pediatric backboard. When carrying a child, the pediatric backboard is lighter and easier to handle and especially more adapted, i.e. suitable to receive a child body.
  • A further important advantage is that improved immobilization is provided when carrying a child, because the pediatric backboard has a size that makes it suitable to receive the body and torso of a child and not an adult.
  • These objects and advantages are fulfilled by a backboard incorporating a pediatric backboard according to the present invention, which is characterized by the annexed claims.
  • This and other features will be more apparent upon reading of the following description of one preferred embodiment, which is shown by way of example and without limitation in the accompanying drawings, in which:
    • Figure 1 is a top view of the full backboard;
    • Figure 2 shows a profile view from the side that receives the head of an adult without the pediatric backboard;
    • Figure 3 shows the pediatric backboard separate from the full backboard.
  • Referring to the figures, numeral 1 designates the full backboard incorporating the pediatric backboard.
  • 1a designates the outer structure of the backboard which has a specially shaped central hole 10 for receiving a belt housing 4.
  • Preferably, but without limitation, the pediatric board is composed of two surfaces: a surface 2a that is large enough to receive the body and torso of an injured child; a surface 2b below the surface 2a, for receiving the head of the child.
  • The pediatric backboard 2 fits within the structure of the backboard by connection of a male edge 7 with a female receptacle 8 on which it is laid.
  • The pediatric backboard 2 is locked, for instance, by butterfly devices 3 or flaps (see Fig. 1) in various numbers.
  • Numeral 5 designates the apertures arranged over the periphery of the backboard 1 for the passage of the adjustable restraint straps. Numeral 6 designates the apertures at the side of the pediatric backboard 2, which have the same purpose as the apertures 5. These apertures also act as gripping handles for transport.
  • The operation of the device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the numerals of the figures.
  • For immobilization of an adult, the backboard is used in its full configuration, i.e. including the pediatric backboard 2 and the remaining area or space, designated by numeral 12.
  • The male 7 - female 8 joint and the flaps 3 allow the pediatric backboard to be properly installed, preventing its disengagement and to properly support the weight of the patient's body.
  • Now, the patient is secured to the backboard 1 by introducing the adjustable belts through the apertures 5 arranged over the periphery of the board.
  • However, for immobilization of a child, the pediatric backboard 2 is removed from the backboard 1, by operating the butterfly devices 3 and applying a slight pressure to the bottom face of the pediatric backboard.
  • Now, once proper alignment is obtained between the head on the surface 2b with the spine, the child is secured to the pediatric backboard by passing the adjustable straps through the apertures 6 at the sides of the board.
  • It shall be noted that this type of board can be also used for proper transportation of patients receiving an infusion solution (such as saline, glucose solution).
  • In a possible variant embodiment, not shown, the backboard can comprise a belt housing 4.
