Transferring the patient from the radio-transparent stretcher
Once the patient has been transferred, it is necessary to lay it down to the support: bed,
shower trolley, examination table ….
Prior to the transfer, make sure:
- That the bed, the shower trolley ... has enough space under its base to
allow manipulation of the hoist without any risk.
- That you have enough space around the patient to manipulate half-
stretchers once the patient has been laid on the support
- That the brakes the shower trolley , bed ... are blocked so that the support
is stable and there is no risk of inadvertent movement
1- Bring the hoist above the support and lift down the arm until the stretcher lies on the
support and the loops are loose.
Make sure that the patient is in a proper position.
2- Remove the loops straps of the spreader bar, exit the hoist from the room in order to have
more freedom of movement around the patient.
3- Unlock the stretcher
4- Break off the two halves of the stretcher. Putting the patient in a supine position, you will
find it easier to remove the half-stretchers one after the other by placing your hands at the
openings for better grip, and sliding half-stretchers.
If it is necessary lateralize the patient alternately on both sides to remove the half-stretchers,
then turn the patient on the back or in any position that secured his physiological condition
and / or devices, probes ... he could be equipped
