2 Learning Objectives Describe correct/safe carrying procedures on stairs State guidelines for reaching & applications Describe correct reaching for log rolls Learning Objectives State guidelines for pushing/pulling Discuss general considerations of moving patients Describe 3 situations that may require emergency moves Learning Objectives Identify carrying devices Wheeled ambulance stretcher Portable ambulance stretcher Stair chair Scoop stretcher Long spine board Short spine board (vest-type device) Basket stretcher Flexible stretcher 2
3 Body Mechanics Lifting techniques Guidelines for lifting Know physical capabilities/limitations Seek help when needed Do not attempt to move patient if you believe you cannot Body Mechanics Safety precautions Never lift with back Use legs, keeping back straight Communicate clearly/frequently Get close to person/device Keep arms close to body Body Mechanics 3
4 Body Mechanics Safety precautions Safe lifting of cots/stretchers Support combined weight of device/patient Use more than 2 people to execute lift Team balanced Body Mechanics Power lift/squat lift Lifting extremely heavy device When lowering, use power lift in reverse Skill 5-1: Power Lift Power lift Keep back locked Feet comfortable distance apart Tighten abdominal muscles Body center over object 4
5 Skill 5-1: Power Lift Power lift Raise upper body before hips Straighten legs as lifting Keep back in locked position Body Mechanics Carrying General guidelines Adhere to during transport Similar to lifting Specific techniques One-handed carrying technique Locked-in position Body Mechanics Carrying patient up/down stairs Keep back in locked-in position Flex at hips, not waist Bend knees, not waist Keep weight/arms close to device Stronger personnel positioned at bottom Use stair chair whenever possible 5
6 Body Mechanics Reaching Good body mechanics Keep back in locked-in position Avoid hyperextended position when reaching overhead Avoid reaching more than 15 to 20 in front of your body Avoid situations where prolonged strenuous effort needed Body Mechanics Reaching Good body mechanics Keep weight close to body Push from area between waist/shoulder If weight below waist level, use kneeling position Avoid pushing/pulling from overhead position Keep elbows bent, arms close to sides Body Mechanics Reaching Log roll Keep back straight while leaning over patient Lean from hips Use shoulder muscles to execute 6
7 Body Mechanics Pushing & pulling Pushing safer, more effective than pulling Keep back in locked-in position Keep line of pull through center of body Keep weight close to body Push from area between waist/shoulder If weight below waist level, use kneeling position Avoid pushing/pulling from overhead position Keep elbows bent, arms close to sides Principles of Moving Patients General considerations Technique selected to move patient depends on several factors Careful planning before moving patient in immediate danger Weigh potential risks vs. need for specific interventions Principles of Moving Patients Emergency moves When immediate threat of death exists Patient moved before assessment Move patient along long axis of body Patient being moved from vehicle 7
8 Principles of Moving Patients Emergency moves Drag techniques Clothes drag Principles of Moving Patients Emergency moves Drag techniques Foot drag Principles of Moving Patients Emergency moves Drag techniques Blanket drag 8

23 Patient Positioning Body positioning Erect Supine Prone Patient Positioning Body positioning Lateral recumbent/recovery Trendelenburg Fowler s Patient Positioning Body positioning Shock 23
24 Patient Positioning Factors dictate device/position chosen Airway maintenance Comfort Suspected spinal injury Shock Patient Positioning Patients with dyspnea/chest pain Transport semireclining/fully upright position Sleepy/lethargic - supine position Patient Positioning Unresponsive patient without suspected spinal injury Recovery/left lateral recumbent position If patient needs positive-pressure ventilation/cpr - supine position 24
25 Patient Positioning Patients with abdominal pain Supine/lateral recumbent position with knees bent Patient Positioning Patients in shock Supine position Legs elevated 8 to 12 Patients with suspected spinal injury Transferred on long spine board Patient Positioning Pregnant patients Women in 3 rd trimester - left lateral recumbent position If uncomfortable, semireclining position Suspected spinal injuries long board; tilt left 25
26 Patient Positioning Nausea/vomiting Position of comfort Summary Safe lifting involves legs not back, lifting as close to device as possible Guidelines for lifting include considering weight to be lifted/need for additional help Summary When lifting cots/stretchers, use even number of people Power/squat lift, ideal for individuals with weak knees/thighs, should be performed in locked-in back position 26
27 Summary Power grip used with hands at least 10 apart When carrying on level ground, use devices that can be rolled; for stairs, use stair chairs Summary When carrying, consider weight to be lifted, need for additional help When reaching, keep back in locked-in position When pushing/pulling, push rather than pull Summary Move patients immediately, using emergency moves when in danger Move patients quickly, using rapid extrication procedure when immediate life-threatening condition 27
28 Summary Move patient along long axis of body Urgent moves out of vehicles - rapid extrication procedure Nonurgent movement done with direct ground lift, extremity lift, direct carry, draw-sheet lift Summary Devices for transporting patients include: Cot stretchers Folding stretcher Spine boards Stair chairs Scoop stretchers Flexible stretchers Summary Transport patients in position appropriate to condition Recovery Comfort Immobilized Legs elevated 8 to 12 Left side/tilted on long spine board 28
