Hi Ian, You can get the vacu mattress under the harness, so you can just unclip harness from the trolley and use vacumattress to evacuate.

Babypods and vacuum mattresses can be carried out, but patients in a harness on the stretcher pose a problem. Once I used a carry-sheet under the patient to provide a solution. I wondered if anyone had a strategy, policy or solution to getting the intensive care child out of a vehicle in an emergency. Thank you.
