Abstract: Medical equipment for disaster rescue is one of the key solutions to achieve rapid search and rescue, precise treatment, and efficient transportation of the injured at the spot of a major disaster. Development of technologies such as intelligent sensing, autonomous navigation, and the Internet of Things provide medical equipment for disaster rescue with future development directions, i.e., portability, integration, and intelligence. A critical issue in disaster rescue medicine is maximizing the performance of medical equipment in extremely complex and harsh rescue environments. This involves achieving seamless information sharing and deep interactive integration among personnel, equipment, and the surrounding environment, ultimately aiming to rescue the injured and save lives to the greatest extent possible. Accordingly, this study discussed the development status, key technologies, and existing problems of medical equipment for disaster rescue. On this basis, this study further elaborated the future development direction and suggestions on medical equipment for disaster rescue.
