    [0002] Water rescue team for multiple injured
    [0003]
    [0004] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
    [0005]
    [0006] The present invention belongs to the field of multiple injured rescue in aquatic environments such as beaches, swamps or rivers.
    [0007]
    [0008] The purpose of this is a new equipment that facilitates the rescue and immobilization of a multiple injured in an aquatic environment, so that the risks of aggravation of injuries are minimized, especially if there are spinal injuries.
    [0009]
    [0010] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    [0011]
    [0012] The rescue of a person with multiple injuries, especially if there are spinal injuries, in an aquatic environment is extremely complicated due to the risk of aggravation of the injury involved. In this type of rescue, the lifeguard must not only rescue the person at risk of drowning and transport it to a safe place on the mainland, but must do so trying to move the rescued person as little as possible. For this there are two main drawbacks: first, the continuous movement of the aquatic environment, especially if it is the sea, makes it difficult to immobilize the rescued person during the time it is towed to the mainland; secondly, once on the mainland, the rescued person must be transferred from the element used for rescue, for example a rescue table, to the stretcher of an ambulance or similar, which implies additional movements. This whole process can have fatal consequences for a spinal cord injury of the rescued person, even causing spinal cord paralysis in the most severe cases.
    [0013]
    [0014] The water rescue equipment currently used does not provide any means or device designed to solve these problems. These equipment basically consist of a rescue table made of a floating material on which the rescued person can be placed and that can be towed, either by the lifeguard himself, or with the help of a jet ski or other additional mechanical means. Current rescue tables do not have any adequate means to properly immobilize a modular injured person during transport or during transfer to a ambulance or similar.
    [0015]
    [0016] In short, there is a need in this field not covered by equipment specially designed for the rescue of modular injuries.
    [0017]
    [0018] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    [0019]
    [0020] The present invention solves the above problems thanks to a new water rescue equipment particularly designed to immobilize the patient during the entire rescue, including both the transport of the rescued person to the mainland and his transfer to an ambulance.
    [0021]
    [0022] In this document, the terms "top", "top", "bottom", "bottom" and the like refer to positions defined according to a vertical direction in the geometric sense of the term.
    [0023]
    [0024] In this document, the terms "headboard" and "standing" refer to positions along the equipment of the invention located, respectively, closer to the end of the stretcher or spinal board designed to place the head of a rescued person or closer to the end of the stretcher or spinal board designed to place the feet of the rescued person.
    [0025]
    [0026] In this document, the term "length" refers to the direction of the main axis of the stretcher or spinal board corresponding to its longest dimension. Correspondingly, the term "transverse refers to the direction of an axis of the stretcher corresponding to its shortest dimension, which is perpendicular to the main anterior axis.
    [0027]
    [0028] In this document, the aquatic environment that will be discussed at all times will be the sea. However, it should be understood that the equipment of the present invention can be used in any other aquatic environment, such as lakes, swamps, rivers, swimming pools, etc. Therefore, any reference to the swell or state of the sea refers in general to the state of the water of the lake, swamp, river, pool, or others.
    [0029]
    [0030] The present invention is directed to a multi-injured water rescue team that essentially comprises the following elements: a rescue stretcher; a spinal board; and anchoring means between the stretcher and the board. Then it describe each of these elements in greater detail.
    [0031]
    [0032] a) Rescue stretcher
    [0033]
    [0034] It is an essentially rectangular flat rescue stretcher that is bounded by a headboard edge, a standing edge, and two side edges. The side edges correspond to the long sides of the rectangle, while the head and foot edges correspond to the short sides of the rectangle. This stretcher has an upper rescue surface designed to receive a rescued person comprising an essentially rectangular flat central cavity that is recessed relative to said rescue surface and open towards the foot edge of said stretcher.
    [0035]
    [0036] That is, the cavity of the upper surface of the stretcher has a parallelepipedic volume delimited by three vertical walls on the headboard and lateral sides, but open on the side corresponding to the foot side of the stretcher. As will be described later, this open side will allow the introduction of the spinal board in cases where it travels on rails. In addition, the depth of the cavity in relation to the upper surface of the stretcher is small, for example about 3-5 cm, since it essentially corresponds to the thickness of the spinal board.
    [0037]
    [0038] b) Spinal board
    [0039]
    [0040] It is an essentially rectangular flat spinal board that fits into the central cavity of the rescue surface of the stretcher so that it is essentially flush with said rescue surface.
    [0041]
    [0042] The spinal board has longitudinal and transverse dimensions only slightly smaller than the dimensions of the central cavity of the stretcher, so that when it is inserted there are only thin grooves separating the walls of the cavity from the edges of the spinal board. In addition, the thickness of the spinal board essentially coincides with the depth of the central cavity of the stretcher. Therefore, when the spinal board is completely inserted into the cavity of the stretcher, the upper surface of the stretcher-board assembly that constitutes the equipment of the invention is essentially flat, which allows its use for all intents and purposes as if it were a one-piece salvage table. Only in cases where it is necessary, it is possible to remove the spinal board to immobilize a patient with a spinal injury.
    [0043]
    [0044] In addition, even if the spinal board of the stretcher is removed, the bottom of the stretcher cavity is essentially flat and large enough that it is still possible to use the stretcher as a salvage board in the absence of the spinal board.
    [0045]
    [0046] c) Anchoring means
    [0047]
    [0048] The anchoring means are configured to fix the spinal board to the stretcher when the board is housed in the cavity of said stretcher. The specific configuration of the anchoring means will be described in more detail later in this document.
    [0049]
    [0050] This new water rescue team allows the rescued person to be placed directly on the spinal board from the beginning of the rescue operation, avoiding having to transfer it to another board when it is introduced into the ambulance at the end of the rescue. Indeed, initially the rescue team of the invention includes the stretcher with the spinal board fixed thereto within the corresponding cavity. As mentioned above, the spinal board fits flush into said recess or recessed area of the upper surface of the stretcher, and is fixed to said stretcher with the aid of the anchoring means. Therefore, a compact set is obtained that the rescue professional can use normally to paddle to the place where the person to rescue is located. Next, the rescue professional places the person to rescue on the spinal board attached to the stretcher and tow the equipment to the mainland or a rescue boat. Finally, the rescue professional acts on the means of anchoring for
    [0051] Rescued person can be transported by ambulance to the hospital on that same spinal board, thus avoiding the need to transfer it to another board or similar item.
    [0052]
    [0053] In principle, the spinal board can be installed inside the cavity of the stretcher in any suitable way. For example, it can simply be placed on the bottom of the cavity by lowering it vertically until it fits into it. However, to facilitate controlled introduction, in a preferred embodiment of the invention a rail system is used by which the board is inserted into the cavity of the stretcher in longitudinal direction from the foot edge of the stretcher where the open side of the cavity is located. Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention a lower surface of the spinal board comprises longitudinal rails, and the bottom of the central cavity of the stretcher comprises longitudinal grooves open towards the foot edge of the stretcher. The grooves of the stretcher slidably receive the rails of the spinal board, thus guiding it until its complete introduction into the cavity of the stretcher.
    [0054]
    [0055] This configuration is advantageous because it facilitates a controlled extraction of the spinal board from the stretcher cavity. This is particularly important when the rescued person is on the spinal board and it must be transferred to the mainland or a rescue boat in poor sea conditions or with storm.
    [0056]
    [0057] In principle, the anchoring means can be designed in different ways as long as they allow the spinal board to be securely attached to the rescue stretcher, as well as
    [0058] realization
    [0059]
    [0060] - First holes in the cavity of the stretcher
    [0061]
    [0062] These are first vertical shaft holes arranged at the bottom of the bed cavity. For example, it can be four holes arranged two to two in positions close to the side walls that delimit the central cavity.
    [0063]
    [0064] - Stems
    [0065]
    [0066] The stems are configured to alternate between an interior position to said first holes and an external position to said first holes. The introduction and removal of the stems can be carried out, for example, with the help of a spring that drives the stems towards the outer position, so that a first press on the stems introduces them into the first corresponding hole and anchors them in said inner position , and a second press on the stems unseats them and causes them to exit to the outside position due to the force of the spring.
    [0067]
    [0068] The stems of this preferred embodiment comprise an upper end equipped with a fixing projection. In this context, the fixing projection refers to any protuberance or projection protruding from the stems in the radial direction. For example, the stems can take essentially the form of an inverted L, where the foot of the L constitutes the fixing projection. Thanks to this configuration, when a rod is in the inner position, the L-pillar is inside the corresponding first hole and the L-foot protrudes from it in a horizontal direction. When a rod is in the outer position, a substantial portion of the L-pillar protrudes vertically from the first hole.
    [0069]
    [0070] In addition, the stems are rotatable around the vertical axis. This allows the orientation of the fixing projection to be modified to allow anchoring and de-anchoring of the spinal board to the stretcher in the manner described below.
    [0071]
    [0072] - Second holes in the spinal board
    [0073]
    [0074] The second holes are arranged in the spinal board in a position coinciding with the position of the first holes located in the stretcher when the spinal board is fully inserted into the cavity of the stretcher. That is, the second holes of the spinal board are positioned so that, when the board is fully inserted into the cavity, they are coaxial with the first holes of the stretcher. Following the previous example, the second holes may also be arranged two to two in positions close to the lateral edges of the spinal board.
    [0075]
    [0076] The second holes are configured so that they only allow the upper end of the stems to pass in a certain angular opening position. For this, the second holes may have an elongated shape, for example an essentially rectangular shape. Thus, when the projection of the stems is aligned with the longest direction of the corresponding second elongated hole, the upper end of the shank with the corresponding projection can pass through said second orifice. However, when the projection of the stems is not aligned with the longest direction of the corresponding second elongated hole, the upper end of the stem with the corresponding projection cannot pass through said second hole
    [0077]
    [0078] Thanks to this configuration, when the spinal board is fully inserted into the cavity of the stretcher, the stems in said angular opening position can be passed to the outer position through the second holes. Subsequently, they can be rotated around the vertical axis to a position of rotation different from the angular opening position, the locking projections being locked against the edge of the second holes and thus preventing any movement of the spinal board.
    [0079]
    [0080] The use of these anchoring means is advantageous because they allow quick coupling and uncoupling of the spinal board to the rescue stretcher. Especially important is the rapidity of decoupling, since it must be done with the rescued person prostrated on the spinal board and possibly in poor sea conditions such as strong waves. It starts from the rescue situation in which the spinal board is fixed to the stretcher, and therefore the stems are in the outer position, going through the second holes of the spinal board, and rotated in a different position from the angular opening position . In this situation, the rescue professional only has to turn the stems manually by grabbing them by the respective fixing projections until they are moved to the angular opening position. Then, press down on the upper end of the stems to overcome the resistance of the spring and anchor them in their inner position. The spinal board is thus decoupled from the stretcher and can be separated from it. In case you have stretcher coupling rails, the rescue professional simply pulls the spinal board longitudinally towards the foot side of the stretcher until it is completely removed.
    [0081]
    [0082] According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the side of the cavity open towards the foot edge of the stretcher comprises a plane inclined downwardly from the bottom of the cavity to a lower surface of the stretcher.
    [0083]
    [0084] The arrangement of this inclined plane is advantageous because it facilitates the lifting of a rescued person in those cases in which the rescue stretcher is used without the spinal board attached to it. In addition, it facilitates the exit of water that can be trapped in the cavity of the stretcher. On the other hand, it can also help guide the spinal board rails during an introduction maneuver in the corresponding grooves in the bottom of the cavity in complicated sea conditions.
    [0085] In another particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the spinal board comprises a cervical immobilizer. More preferably, the cervical immobilizer is folded inside a sealed compartment with a lid located in a head portion of said spinal board.
    [0086]
    [0087] This feature is very advantageous because it allows transporting a cervical immobilizer at all times along with the spinal board for use if necessary. At times when it is not used, the upper surface of the lid of the sealed compartment is flush with the rest of the upper surface of the spinal board, thus allowing the use of the equipment of the invention as a conventional salvage table. If necessary, the rescue professional only has to remove the cervical immobilizer from the watertight compartment, unfold it, and fix it to the head of the rescued person.
    [0088]
    [0089] In principle, the cervical immobilizer can be designed in different ways as long as it can be folded for accommodation in the tight compartment of the spinal board and provided it allows a quick and simple deployment. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the cervical immobilizer comprises the following elements: first and second lateral support plates; and at least one extensible coupling rod between the plates. Next, these elements are defined in greater detail.
    [0090]
    [0091] - Side support plates
    [0092]
    [0093] It is a first and a second lateral support plates that have a lower edge configured for fixing to the bottom of the watertight compartment in a vertical position parallel to the longitudinal axis of the spinal board on both sides of said longitudinal axis. The lateral support plates are designed to be on both sides of the head of the rescued person in order to immobilize it.
    [0094]
    [0095] Normally, the plates can take an essentially square or rectangular shape, and are fixed so that they are contained in a vertical plane parallel to the longitudinal axis in two positions located on each side of the longitudinal axis of the spinal board and separated a distance somewhat greater than dimensions of the width of a human head. That is, the distance between the two lateral support plates, once fixed to the bottom of the watertight compartment, could be approximately between 25 cm and 40 cm (that is, between 12.5 cm and 20 cm on each side of the longitudinal axis of the spinal board).
    [0096]
    [0097] The lower edge can be configured in any way that allows these plates to be fixed to the bottom of the watertight compartment. For example, the fixing can be carried out through fixing means formed by a first element arranged at the bottom edge of the plates and a second element arranged at the bottom of the sealed compartment. More specifically, the bottom of the sealed compartment may have fixing grooves arranged in the mentioned positions and the lower edge may have protrusions configured to snap to said grooves.
    [0098]
    [0099] - Extensible coupling rod
    [0100]
    [0101] The at least one coupling rod has a first end connected by an articulated joint to an upper edge of the first plate and a second end configured for coupling to an upper edge of the second plate. For example, the second end of the rod may have a complementary hook or claw with a gripping element disposed on the upper edge of the second plate. The coupling rod thus stiffens the cervical immobilizer in the manner described in greater detail below.
    [0102]
    [0103] Thanks to this configuration, the cervical immobilizer can alternate between: a folded position where the plates are horizontally fully inserted in the watertight compartment and the at least one coupling rod is coplanar with the plates; and an unfolded position where the plates are in an upright position with their lower edge fixed to the bottom of the watertight compartment for the support of the sides of the head of the rescued person and the second end of the coupling rod is coupled to the upper edge of the second plate so that it is essentially perpendicular to the first and second plates. That is, in the deployed position, the rod is coupled to the upper edges of both plates, and both plates are also fixed to the bottom of the watertight compartment in an upright position. In this way, a rigid structure is generated essentially in the form of a portico into which the head of the rescued person can be introduced for immobilization.
    [0104]
    [0105] This cervical immobilizer is advantageous because it allows a very fast and simple deployment, which is very important in this context, and particularly when sea conditions are not favorable. Once the cover of the watertight compartment is removed, the rescue professional only has to take both side support plates and fix them to the bottom of the compartment, and then fix the second end of the coupling rod to the upper edge of the second plate.
    [0106]
    [0107] In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the bottom of the sealed compartment of the cervical immobilizer comprises a plurality of means for fixing the lower edge of the support plates in various positions corresponding to different distances on both sides of the longitudinal axis. For example, the lower edge fixing means of the support plates may comprise a plurality of first pairs of grooves for fixing the lower edge of the first support plate and a plurality of second pairs of grooves for fixing the lower edge of the second support plate, each pair of grooves being arranged in a longitudinal direction at a different distance from the longitudinal axis of the cervical board. For example, the rows of grooves can be located at a distance of 12.5 cm, 15 cm, 17.5 cm, and 20 cm. In this case, the rescue professional would only have to place the lateral support plates in the desired position, and then push down vertically until the protrusions of the lower edge of the plates press into the grooves in the bottom of the watertight compartment.
    [0108]
    [0109] This configuration is advantageous because it allows to fix the lateral support plates according to different separations, allowing the rescue professional to adjust the dimensions of the vertical immobilizer to the size of the head of the rescued person.
    [0110]
    [0111] According to another particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, an inner surface of the plates is inflatable to fit the head of the rescued person. For example, the inner surface of each plate may have one or more inflatable compartments arranged to accommodate the sides of the head of a rescued person. The inflation system of the compartments can be automatic, by connecting a filling mouth to a small pressure tank also integrated in the watertight compartment, or manually by blowing by the rescue professional himself.
    [0112]
    [0113] This configuration is advantageous because it allows a better immobilization of the patient's head in the cervical immobilizer, as well as greater comfort.
    [0114] In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the equipment further comprises a spinal board supplement configured for coupling to a foot edge of the spinal board. For example, the spinal board supplement may have stems that protrude longitudinally through one of its edges for coupling to longitudinal holes arranged at the foot edge of the spinal board.
    [0115]
    [0116] This configuration is advantageous because it allows to increase the length of the spinal board in case a very tall person is rescued.
    [0117]
    [0118] In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the stretcher further comprises a second cavity configured to accommodate an oxygen bottle. This allows the application of oxygen to the patient if necessary. The cavity could have a complementary shape of the shape of the bottle, so that it does not protrude from the upper surface of said stretcher. For example, the cavity could be located in the headboard portion of the stretcher, near the place where the patient's head rests during the use of the equipment. In addition, the oxygen bottle could be of the disposable type, so it would be used as a consumable to ensure that the oxygen supply is always in optimal condition for use.
    [0119]
    [0120] This new equipment for rescuing modular injured in aquatic environments can also be hoisted with any type of machinery for this purpose. Both the stretcher and the spinal board have multiple gripping elements along its entire periphery by way of handles or holes to which a hook can be attached for lifting to a ship or to the mainland. The hoisting can be of manual or motorized type by means of the use of a crane. In this second case, crane handling could be carried out remotely.

    [0144] PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
    [0145]
    [0146] A preferred embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the attached figures.
    [0147]
    [0148] Fig. 1 shows a general view of the multi-injured water rescue equipment (1) according to the present invention in a fully assembled state. The water rescue equipment (1) is mainly formed by a floating rescue stretcher (2) in which a spinal board (3) fits, these two elements being joined through anchoring means (4).
    [0149]
    [0150] The stretcher (2), which can be seen in greater detail in Figs. 2 and 3, has a rectangular shape essentially flat that has two short sides, delimited respectively by a leading edge (21) and a standing edge (22), and two long sides respectively delimited by lateral edges (23). The stretcher (2) is made of a material with sufficient buoyancy to keep the rescued person out of the water. In addition, to avoid causing damage to the rescued person or the rescue professional, the stretcher (2) can have all or some of its rounded edges.
    [0151]
    [0152] The upper surface (24) of the stretcher (2) is essentially flat and is provided with a central cavity (241) also flat and essentially rectangular to receive inside the spinal board (3). That is, the bottom of the cavity (241) is flat and parallel to the rest of the upper surface (24) of the stretcher (2), although it is recessed a few centimeters in relation to it. The bottom of the cavity (241) has a pair of longitudinal grooves (25) which, as will be described later, serve to guide the spinal board (3) during its introduction into the cavity (241). In this context, the longitudinal direction (L) is parallel to the long sides of the stretcher (2). In addition, the cavity (241) is open at the foot edge (22) of the stretcher (22) both to allow the introduction of the spinal board (3) and to prevent the accumulation of water inside.
    [0153]
    [0154] The stretcher (2) also has a plurality of handles (26) arranged along its edges (21,22, 23) to facilitate the grip by the rescue professional. It also has a front ring (27) to facilitate its drag. In addition, the entire stretcher (2) is coated or painted with a reflective or retro-reflective material to facilitate its visibility. All these gripping elements mean that the equipment (1) of the invention can be lifted to land or to a boat using any suitable lifting system. This includes both hand lifting and motorized lifting systems, or even remote controlled motorized lifting systems.
    [0155]
    [0156] The spinal board (3), which has been depicted in greater detail in Figs. 2 and 4, it has a flat and essentially rectangular shape complementary to the shape of the cavity (241) of the stretcher. That is, the thickness of the spinal board (3) is similar to the depth of the cavity (241), and its shape fits precisely into said cavity (241). The spinal board (3) also has rails on its lower surface (not shown in the figures) that are configured to be introduced and slid along the longitudinal grooves (25) located at the bottom of the cavity (241), so that a guided and controlled introduction of the spinal board (3) into the cavity (241) of the stretcher (2) is achieved. The spinal board (3) also has a plurality of holes (31) arranged along its periphery to allow Easy grip by the rescue professional.
    [0157]
    [0158] The fixation between the spinal board (3) and the stretcher (2) is carried out by means of anchoring means (4). The anchoring means (4), shown in greater detail in Fig. 5, are mainly formed by rods (42) protruding from first holes (41) arranged in the stretcher (4), and which are configured to be introduced in a few second holes (43) arranged in the spinal board (3). More specifically, the first holes (41) of the stretcher (4) house the stems (42) so that they can alternate between two positions: an interior position in which the stems (42) are fully inserted into the first holes (41), and an outer position in which the stems (42) protrude outside the first holes (41). A spring and an internal mechanism (not shown in the figures) allow the rescue professional to alternate the rods (42) between the inner position and the outer position simply by exerting pressure on them.
    [0159]
    [0160] The rods (42) in this example have an inverted L shape, formed by an essentially vertical pillar in relation to the bottom of the cavity (241) of the stretcher (2) and an end provided with a peak or projection (421) which is essentially parallel to said bottom of the cavity (241) of the stretcher (2). The first holes (41) have a rectangular cross-section, so that when the stems (42) are in their inner position both the pillar and the projection (421) are inside, and therefore the bottom of the cavity ( 241) of the stretcher (2) is flat as a whole. In this situation, the spinal board (3) can be inserted into the cavity (241) of the stretcher (2). The second holes (43) of the spinal board (3) are positioned such that, when the spinal board (3) is fully inserted into the cavity (241), they coincide with the position of the first holes (41) of the stretcher ( two). In addition, the second holes (43) also have a rectangular cross section to allow the rods (42) to pass through them. Once the projections (421) of the stems (42) have completely passed through the second holes (43), said stems (42) can be rotated around an axis of rotation contained in the abutment, so that the respective projections (421) are engaged and cannot be removed from said second holes (43) unless the rods (42) are turned again to their initial position. The arrangement of four such anchoring means (4), two on each side of the spinal board (3), ensures a firm fixation of the board (3) on the stretcher (2).

    [0162] The rescue equipment (1) of the invention also has a cervical immobilizer (5) permanently arranged in the spinal board (3), as shown in greater detail in Figs. 6-9. The cervical immobilizer (5) of this example is housed inside a waterproof compartment equipped with a cover (54) located in the head portion of the spinal board (3). Inside said compartment there are two lateral support plates (51, 52), each of which has an extendable coupling rod (53). Each side support plate (51, 52) has an essentially rectangular shape, and at one of its edges they have coupling elements (522) for fixing to fixing means (55) arranged at the bottom of the watertight compartment. In addition, the bottom of the sealed compartment has a plurality of fixing means (55), in this case holes, configured to allow the fixing of the lateral support plates (51, 52) at different distances from the longitudinal axis (L) of the board (3) spinal. These fixing means (55) are shown in detail in Fig. 8.
    [0163]
    [0164] In the initial state, these elements are in a folded position where the plates (51, 52) are in horizontal position completely inserted in the watertight compartment and the extendable coupling rods (53) are coplanar with the plates (51, 52) . To move to the deployed position, the rescue professional arranges the lateral support plates (51, 52) in an upright position and inserts the coupling elements (522) of the plates (51, 52) into the fixing means (55) suitable according to the distance between plates (51, 52) necessary for the size of the head of each rescued person. To stiffen the assembly and prevent the lateral support plates (51, 52) from moving, the rescue professional uses the extendable rods (53). Each extendable rod (53) has a first end rotatably fixed to one edge of each plate (51, 52) opposite the edge that is fixed to the bottom of the compartment, and a second end configured to engage the other plate (51, 52). The rescue professional only has to give the extensible rods (53) a length corresponding to the distance between chosen support plates (51, 52), and fix the second end of each of the rods (53) to the corresponding first or the second side support plate (51, 52). In this way, a rigid assembly is obtained that is able to securely hold the head and neck of the rescued person regardless of sea conditions.
    [0165]
    [0166] In addition, as shown in Fig. 9, the lateral support plates (51, 52) have an inflatable surface (511) on their inner side to immobilize the head and neck of the rescued person in a safer way.
    [0167]
    [0168] Fig. 10 shows a spinal board supplement (6) that can be attached to a foot edge of the board (3) to increase its length in case the size of the rescued person advises it. The spinal board supplement (6) has fixing means with the spinal board (3) which, in this example, takes the form of three stems that are inserted into corresponding holes in the foot edge of the spinal board (3).
    [0169]
    [0170] The equipment (1) of the invention also has a second cavity (7) in a head portion of the stretcher (2) to accommodate an oxygen bottle. This would allow to provide oxygen to the person who is rescued immediately instead of having to wait for arrival on land or on a ship. The oxygen bottle would preferably be of the disposable type, so that once used it should be replaced by a new bottle, thus ensuring a good state of use at all times.
