The same procedure was used for passengers being transported on stretchers - remove the passenger and leave the stretcher in an evacuation.

Here is some Canadian guidance related to the installation and restraint of incubators and stretchers when carried on board a scheduled passenger aircraft, rather than a dedicated air ambulance:
