Rescue litter position may impact breathing
NCT ID NCT07219290
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how lying flat, sitting up, or being vertical in a rescue litter affects lung function. Researchers will test 12 healthy volunteers weighing 130-310 pounds. The goal is to see if a vertical position is better for breathing than lying flat, which could help rescue teams decide how to move patients in tight spaces.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help rescue teams choose the best litter position for patients with breathing problems during evacuations.
What could go wrong
This is a very small study (12 people) and only measures lung function in healthy volunteers, not real patients. Results may not apply to injured or ill people.
