●
The patient should be transfered by at least two persons for safety.
[To transfer a patient from the stretcher to a bed]
Return the caster operation pedal to the horizontal
position, place the stretcher by the bed, and depress
the caster operation pedal (red) of the stretcher to
lock the casters. (See p.25)
Align the height of the stretcher to the height of the
bed, and then lower the transfer board and the side
rail of the bed. (See p. 23 and p.28)
●
Set the stretcher slightly higher than the
bed for easier transfer.
●
When placing the stretcher by a bed, prevent the transfer board or transfer board receptacle
of the stretcher from getting on the side rail (foldable type) of the bed. Otherwise, the stretcher
tip over, resulting in an injury or the side rail of the bed or the transfer board may get damaged
or deformed.
Detach the restraint belts from the patient and place
them in an area where they will not hinder the
transfer procedure. And then transfer the patient
onto the bed.
