En Route Care in Confined Spaces: Impact of Transport, Immobilization Practices, Space Constraints, and Medical Awareness Enhancements

Abstract

This group of research projects was designed to look at various aspects of transport, immobilization, optimal physical space, ergonomics, and enhancement of medical awareness. Outcomes of the project will provide significant information and tools that can be used toward increasing a patients safety, providing more effective patient care, reducing patient and medic discomfort, and the development of vibration mitigation systems.
