NOSC Medical Backpack Test and Evaluation Report.

Abstract

This document reports the results of a test and evaluation of five medical backpacks. The tests were performed over a three-month period by the medical departments of four Navy ships and one land-based Marine Corps search and rescue unit. The prototype medical backpacks were designed to transport advanced life support medical equipment and supplies (such as oxygen and ECG monitor/defibrillator) from the ship's medical department to a shipboard casualty. This configuration allowed the medical personnel to have their hands free to negotiate the narrow passages and ladders found aboard ship. (Author)
