摘要： This invention is a self-contained isolation, and environmental protection life support system (10) for shielding a patient contained therein, or alternatively isolating a contaminated patient from a clean environment while allowing treatment of traumatic injuries to the patient. The system comprises the combination of an environmental control system (ECS) (11) and a containment enclosure (14) that are designed to function in concert with conventional life support stretcher. The ECS component possesses an air management system that is designed configured to extract contaminated particles, gas from the external air, and deliver the same to the patient contained within the containment enclosure. To facilitate such delivery, the containment enclosure is preferably provided with a plurality of tubular passages (48) which are designed to be filled with air provided by the ventilator system to thus cause the containment enclosure to expand to form a semi rigid structure. A multiplicity of apertures are formed upon the tubular passages that causes the purified air to pass therethrough, and wash over the patient in a head to toe direction such that rapid removal of toxic residues is facilitated.
