Sled device provides safe, easy patient evacuations

A small female staff member easily pulls a large man down a flight of stairs using one of the hospital's new emergency evacuation devices during a training session on Nov. 12 at Wilford Hall Medical Medical Center, Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. The device, or sled, cocoons the patient and mattress together, allowing medical personnel to safely roll patients down hallways and stairwells in the event of an emergency.
