EMERGENCY VEHICLE PATIENT TRANSPORT SYSTEMS

Emergency vehicle patient transport systems are disclosed. In one embodiment, an emergency vehicle patient transport system includes: an emergency vehicle, a track coupled to a floor or ceiling of an interior compartment of the vehicle, a chair slidingly engaged with the track, and a multi-position seat coupled to the wall. The emergency vehicle comprises a loading passage which provides access to the interior compartment, and which defines a loading direction in which to load the cot into the interior compartment. The track delineates a travel path in the floor or ceiling to which it is coupled. The chair is selectively lockable both along the travel path and in one or more set positions selected from a group consisting of an airway care position, an extended airway care position, a procedural car position, a responder position, a patient care position, a lower care position and a patient load position. The multi-position seat comprises a transition track and a seat portion slidingly engaged with the transition track. The seat portion is moveable about the transition track between a flat configuration, a bench configuration and a jump seat configuration. In the bench configuration, the seat portion defines a seat, and in the jump seat configuration the seat portion is orientated as a seat back which faces in the loading direction.
