Abstract
The child when displaced through one emergency transport, it has exposed to serious injury risk by normally be carried on stretchers that are not adapted to their weight and height, it also considering the fact the ambulances move up at high speeds and need with frequency reduce abruptly velocity. This highlighted the importance of the restraint system effective that is associated with ergonomic factors in cohesion with the physical child characteristics. The aim of this paper is to evaluate and design a model of gurney with an effective restraint system for emergency transport children and small people. The differential our proposal in relation to other, it is a versatility for emergency transport in ambulances and the system allows the rescue in difficult access areas. The main safety factor is associated with the adjustable restraint system, that results in the easy fixing and quick removal of children due to the system of 5-point restraint.
