STUDY ON RESCUE POSSIBILITIES OF IMMOBILE PEOPLE FROM MEDICAL AND SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN CASE OF FIRE

The main universal and safe means of rescue of immobile people during the fire is carrying them on stretchers by staff. To establish the physical capacity of staff to implement the necessary rescue operations — shifting people of different masses from the bed on a stretcher and carry them on a horizontal way and down the stairs, a set of experiments were carried out in three homes for the elderly and disabled people and in four clinical hospitals. The general sample of empirical data amounted to 873 values. Theoretical developments, using the methodology of psycho-physiological relation between the parameters of behavior of people at evacuation, have allowed to establish the relation between speed and different masses of patients and time of moving from a bed on a stretcher in the form of random functions. Carried out researches allow to implement in building codes means for rescue operation in case of fire in hospitals and nursing homes for elderly and disabled people.
