A patient transporting device having a mobile IV pole which comprises a wheeled base with an enclosure that substantially covers the wheels and a bumper secured to the enclosure. A pole is coupled to the base, and a plurality of hook or other holders are provided for holding intravenous fluid reservoirs. The pole may include first and second arms that extend substantially vertically upwardly from the base, each arm made up of respective lower, central, and upper telescoping tubular portions. The lower portions of the arms are securely coupled to the base, the upper portions are rigidly interconnected with one another, and the central portions of the first and second arms are rigidly interconnected by a stabilization bar which has a plurality of routing channels therein for routing flexible tubing. An obliquely oriented handle is coupled to the pole and is axially movable along at least a portion of the pole. The IV pole may be provided with an electrical receptacle having a retractable power cord. A hook or other hanger also may be provided at a lower portion of the pole for hanging a catheter bag, and a further hook, eyelet, or other coupling may be provided for towing the IV pole along with a gurney, wheelchair, or bed, for example.

The invention claimed is: 1. A patient transporting device comprising: a patient holding apparatus; an IV pole comprising, a top, a bottom, a shaft and a wheeled base having wheels engaged to a portion of the shaft; and an attachment mount capable of releasably engaging both the IV pole and the patient holding apparatus; wherein the wheels are vertically longitudinally adjustable relative to the shaft for releasable engagement of the patient holding apparatus to the attachment mount, the IV pole further comprising one or more pins engaged to the wheeled base, the attachment mount further comprising one or more troughs constructed and arranged for receipt of the one or more pins, the IV pole further comprising a raising/lowering mechanism engaged to the one or more pins, wherein manipulation of the raising/lowering mechanism enables the receipt of the one or more pins by the one or more troughs pulling the wheeled base off of the ground. 2. The patient transporting device of claim 1 wherein the patient holding apparatus is selected from one of the group consisting of: a wheelchair and a wheeled bed. 3. The patient transporting device of claim 2 the patient holding apparatus being a wheelchair, the attachment mount further comprising a hollow portion of a tube the attachment mount becomes engaged to the wheelchair by the hollow tube which is constructed and arranged to fit over a bar extending out from the bottom of the back of the wheelchair. 4. The patient transporting device of claim 1, the attachment mount is laterally pivotably engaged to the patient holding apparatus, the attachment mount constructed and arranged to permit the IV pole to pivot around the patient holding apparatus. 5. The patient transporting device of claim 4, wherein the attachment mount further comprises a plurality of positioning slots, the positioning slots constructed and arranged to position the IV pole at fixed angles relative to the patient holding apparatus, at least one positioning slot constructed and arranged to positioning the shaft at a distance from the patient holding apparatus which is less than the distance between the wheels and the shaft when the wheels are supporting the IV pole on the ground. 6. The patient transporting device of claim 4 the patient holding apparatus being wheeled bed, said attachment mount further comprising a mount wheel positioned at a bottom most portion of the attachment. 7. The patient transporting device of claim 1, further comprising a pin spring, the pin spring engaged to the attachment mount and providing a pulling tension against the attachment mount in the direction of the patient holding apparatus, the pulling tension pulls the IV pole closer to the patient holding apparatus. 8. The patient transporting device of claim 1, the wheeled base comprising at least one leg having a length, at a first position along the length the leg is vertically pivotably engaged to the shaft, at a second position along the length a wheel is engaged to the leg. 9. The patient transporting device of claim 1, the patient holding apparatus being a wheelchair, the patient transporting device further comprising a handle engaged to the attachment mount, the handle extending at an oblique angle relative to the wheelchair. 10. The patient transporting device of claim 1 in which the attachment mount further comprises a crank, the crank being constructed and arranged to elevate and lower the pins relative to the troughs. 11. The patient transporting device of claim 10, the IV pole further comprising a hollow portion and a rod extending from the crank to the wheeled base, the crank capable of raising and lowering the wheeled base up off of a surface. 12. The patient transporting device of claim 11 further comprising a hooking pin engaged to the attachment mount constructed and arranged to permit the IV pole to pivot around at least a portion of the wheeled bed. 13. The patient transporting device of claim 1, wherein the IV pole is constructed and arranged to support bags or pumps when the wheels are adjusted into an elevated position. 14. The patient transporting device of claim 1, in which the attachment mount is pivotably engaged to the patient holding apparatus.
