Transferring patient into vehicle:
1) Wheel the patient in a wheelchair or stretcher
next to the vehicle.
2) Follow the previous instructions (removing patient
from vehicle) for attaching the sling.
3) Raise the patient following the previous
instructions and adjust their position accordingly
by raising or lowering the cable or boom so that
they are at the proper height and position to be
transferred into the vehicle (Figure 14).
NOTE: Again, it is recommended that a caregiver
be positioned both on the passenger and driver’s
sides to comfortably and safely complete the
transfer.
4) Lower the patient so that they are seated or are
lying down in the vehicle, as appropriate.
