Flotation for Stokes Litter.
Abstract
A flotation system for the Stokes litter, protective frame, and trolley block used in manila highline operations was designed and tested. The system is compatible with the flotation collar design used in other Coast Guard Stokes Litter applications. It floats the patient with the water level not higher than the suprastranal notch and with his head back. It returns to the upright position if overturned and does not require the patient to wear a personal flotation device. (Author)
