Testing of Physiologic Response of Patients Transported in Portable Isolation Units

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Portable isolation units (PIU) are protective means used for isolation of patients from the outer environment during their transport to a special medical facility. They are necessary equipment of rescue teams participating at evacuation and urgent care of highly contagious patients or casualties in CBRN event. PIUs are used for transport of the contaminated victims as well as the protection of rescue and medical teams against the secondary contamination. The units are capable to work either in negative or positive pressure mode. The microclimatic conditions inside the unit affect the heat transfer from the patient’s body and related physiologic state of the patient. Various conditions and victims‘ physiology response inside the PIU of various construction types were tested. The tests were performed in SÚJCHBO‘s climatic chamber with probands – men and women. At the beginning of the test, elevated body-core temperature simulating fever of the infected patient was evoked by means of workload heat stress exercise under higher ambient temperature, and then the proband was placed inside the PIU. Microclimatic conditions and probands‘ physiologic parameters were monitored during the whole test as well as their subjective feelings. The results are discussed and put into recommendations for PIU construction and utilizations.
