Rarely are hospitals forced to evacuate their nonambulatory patients; however, when a disaster occurs, evacuating nonambulatory patients, particularly from multilevel facilities, represents a major logistical hurdle. Hospital disaster plans often rely on outside agencies and limited equipment to perform vertical evacuations. This article describes a novel method using readily available materials (patient mattresses and bedsheets) to effect a rapid, safe vertical evacuation. This method also can be used in nonhealthcare facilities for less-than-fully ambulatory individuals.
医院很少被迫疏散不能自主行动的患者；然而，当灾难发生时，疏散不能自主行动的患者，尤其是从多层设施中疏散，是一个重大的后勤障碍。医院灾难预案通常依赖外部机构和有限的设备来进行垂直疏散。本文描述了一种使用现成材料（患者床垫和床单）来实现快速、安全垂直疏散的新方法。这种方法也可用于非医疗设施中行动不太方便的人员。
