The document provides information on safe patient handling and transfer techniques for healthcare providers. It discusses common complications from immobility like pressure ulcers and contractures. It also addresses that low back pain is the most common work-related injury for healthcare workers, with nursing having high rates of injuries from patient lifting. The document outlines principles of safe transferring, different transfer techniques, and bed mobility maneuvers. It emphasizes using proper body mechanics and equipment to prevent injuries.
Casualty lifting is the first step of casualty movement, an early aspect of emergency medical care. It is the procedure used to put the casualty (the patient) on a stretcher.
Developed emergency services use lifting devices, such as scoop stretchers, that allow secured lifting with minimal personnel. Other methods (explained below) can be used when such devices are not available.
Since only stabilised casualties are moved (except in unusual circumstances), the lifting is usually never performed in emergency; emergency movements are sometimes performed to respect the Golden Hour. This depends on the organisation of the medical services and on the specific circumstances.

Patient care safety pedi 4 & 7 voice over Tiffani Walker
This document discusses proper patient care techniques for radiographers, including safe transfers, patient assistance, radiation protection, body mechanics, moving and positioning patients, and dealing with immobilizers, casts, and traction. Key points covered are the importance of safe body mechanics to prevent back injuries, establishing a stable base of support, keeping the patient's center of gravity close during transfers, and using proper techniques for transfers between beds, wheelchairs, and imaging tables.
This document discusses techniques for safely lifting and moving patients. It covers proper body mechanics, types of equipment like stretchers and backboards, and techniques for lifting, carrying and positioning patients. Key safety principles emphasized include using proper form to avoid injury, estimating patient weight, using additional personnel for heavy patients, and following commands as a coordinated team. Emergency moves are described for dangerous situations where a quick move is needed.
A transfer involves moving a patient from one surface to another in a safe manner. Proper planning, safety precautions, and assistance levels must be considered. The OT's role is to teach patients and caregivers to perform transfers as independently and safely as possible while protecting the patient from injury. Factors like cognition, strength, balance, and endurance impact a patient's ability to transfer independently.
This document provides guidance on safely moving and lifting patients for first responders. It advises waiting for professional help in most cases but sometimes a victim needs to be moved to protect them from danger or provide care. Proper body mechanics should be used to minimize risk of back injury, including planning the lift, maintaining good posture, and communicating with partners. Techniques for the recovery position, log rolling, vehicle extrication, emergency drags, and carries are described while keeping the head and spine stabilized and in line. Rapid movement is discouraged to avoid aggravating potential spinal injuries.
This document provides guidance on proper techniques for transferring aging patients to prevent injuries. It outlines steps to ensure the caregiver, environment, and patient are prepared for safe transfers. Key points include wearing supportive shoes and using a transfer belt for the patient. Caregivers should communicate their plan, support the patient's weight gradually, and use mechanical lifts as needed for heavy patients or those prone to resistance. When walking a patient, the belt should be applied around the hips and held to provide back support as the caregiver walks slightly behind and to the side of the patient.
