RIGLOO PREHOSPITAL SHELTERS - WHAT PROBLEM DO THESE MEDICAL & TACTICAL SHELTERS SOLVE?
RIGLOO protective shelters are ideal for supporting patients during first responder examinations, providing a protective and controllable environment that shields unwanted attention from passersby and creates an immediate space for field care, as well as protecting against environmental elements. By controlling the environment, RIGLOO can help reduce the number of patients with prehospital hypothermia (defined as core temperature below 36.0 °C). This is sometimes observed in patients admitted to the emergency department for whom the rescue process was complex due to a difficult and lengthy rescue, infusion of cold resuscitation fluids, weather conditions, age, or critical health condition.

THE UNIQUE P.O.P.S. STRUCTURE
Due to the unique P.O.P.S. structure (Place / Over / Patient / Structure), the RIGLOO Prehospital Shelter Tent can be quickly and safely placed over the patient and the first responder without moving them.
RIGLOO SHELTERS ADVANTAGES
RIGLOO Medical Shelters protect medical staff and patients from the prying eyes of onlookers. RIGLOO Shelters also protect the patient and physician from environmental influences such as wind, rain, cold, and sun, allowing for more focused and calm treatment. Protection from such environmental influences reduces stress and anxiety and can protect against excessive cooling (hyperthermia) of the patient.
The unique P.O.P.S. structure (Place / Over / Patient / Structure) allows the RIGLOO protective tent to be quickly and safely deployed over the patient and first responder. The declared goal is to move the patient as little as possible, treat him medically, and still protect him until transport can take place.
RIGLOO Medical Shelters allow first responders and physicians a high degree of freedom of movement during the treatment phase. In the RIGLOO Medical Shelters, a stretcher as well as other medical tools can be stored without any problems and the treating physician finds enough space next to it for the initial treatment.
RIGLOO Shelters serve a range of emergency situations. This applies to both civilian and tactical operations. The focus is always on prehospital care. RIGLOO Shelters are used for: Emergency care at accident scenes, protection in emergency situations, extended field care, search and rescue operations, medical emergencies, roadside rescues, and much more.
The aim is to move the victims as little as possible. To achieve this, the medical shelter must be able to be placed over the patient and the first rescuer. Thanks to a removable bottom, the RIGLOO Medical Shelters can be placed over the patient and the first rescuer and protect them from all unwanted influences

WHAT PROBLEM DOES RIGLOO SOLVE?
RIGLOO protective shelters are ideal for supporting patients during first responder examinations, providing a protective and controllable environment that shields unwanted attention from passersby and creates an immediate space for field care, as well as protecting against environmental elements.
By controlling the environment, RIGLOO can help reduce the number of patients with prehospital hypothermia (defined as core temperature below 36.0 °C). This is sometimes observed in patients admitted to the emergency department for whom the rescue process was complex due to a difficult and lengthy rescue, infusion of cold resuscitation fluids, weather conditions, age, or critical health condition.
RIGLOO prevents rescuers from having to resort to camping equipment in emergency situations or improvise a solution with whatever is at hand. RIGLOO designs protective shelters for first responders and rescue workers in almost any situation. The goal is to provide supportive and professional tools for situations where quick and easy set-up and tear-down, privacy/visibility, a physical barrier, or another option for the incident commander is required. RIGLOO allows extensive control over the environment and thus plays its part in increasing the chances of rescue.
EXCURSUS: WHAT IS HYPOTHERMIA
What is meant by hypothermia*?
Hypothermia is a drop in mean core body temperature to below 36°C. However, the clinical limit is considered to be a core temperature of 35°C.
What causes hypothermia*?
Hypothermia is usually induced by cold temperatures when the body temperature drops faster than it can be compensated by the heat produced by the body (for example, by staying too long in the cold without adequate clothing, falling into the water, etc.).
Why is hypothermia dangerous*?
In severe hypothermia, especially in combination with underlying diseases, mortality is > 50%. Since the basal metabolic rate of the body decreases by approx. 6% per degree of core body temperature, the brain tolerates circulatory arrest and oxygen deprivation much longer.
The symptoms of hypothermia*?
Symptoms progress from shivering and lethargy to confusion, coma, and death. Mild hypothermia requires a warm environment and insulating blankets. In severe hypothermia, active rewarming of the body surface (e.g., with warm-air blanket systems, radiant heaters) and the body core (e.g., inhalation, warmed infusion and lavage, extracorporeal blood warming) becomes necessary.
*Please leave the diagnosis and treatment to a qualified and trained specialist.
