Abstract
The ambulatory stretcher with patient lifting measures enables a patient to be loaded onto the ambulatory stretcher without moving. The ambulatory stretcher with patient lifting measures includes an outer frame that includes an opening, and which is adapted to be placed onto the ground immediately surrounding a patient. The outer frame includes a pair of patient-conveying members that extend and retract to close off or open up the opening in the outer frame. The patient-conveying members are able to extend underneath a patient while said patient is lying on the ground surface. Moreover, the patient-conveying members are able to load the patient onto the assembly without requiring any movement of the patient with respect to the ground surface.
