Abstract
The patient supporting platform of the present stretcher is supported above an undercarriage by hydraulic lift cylinders to be raised or lowered and tilted into head-up or head-down positions. A backrest is provided on the patient supporting platform and may be inclined at various angles so that the position of the patient supporting platform can be adjusted throughout a wide range of adjusted positions. Foot operated brake levers are provided at each side of the stretcher for at times locking the wheels. Duplicate controls for carrying out the various adjustments of the stretcher, and for controlling the brakes, are provided on each side of the stretcher so that an attendant positioned at either side of the stretcher may immediately make any necessary adjustments of the stretcher while continuously monitoring the condition of the patient.
