1) Stand opposite the patient;
2) Ask the patient to grab you by the waist, while holding the patient by the shoulders middle third. Your feet and the patient’s feet should be in a “foot to foot” position;
3) Take a step back, holding the patient and helping him to stand;
4) Turn to the left, continuing to hold the patient, help him stand in front of the chair;
5) Ask the patient to sit on a chair behind him, while holding the patient by the shoulders and using his knees to support his knees
6) Do not leave the patient alone until you are sure that he is sitting confidently and steadily;
7) Wash your hands.
The sequence of actions when transferring a patient from the “sitting” position on a chair to the “sitting” position on the bed
1) Stand facing the patient so that your knees and feet support the patient’s knees and feet
5) Wash your hands.
When moving a patient by one person, use lifting by rocking to help the patient get up and move to another place, provided that patient can participate in locomotion and control the position of his head and arms.
They begin by helping the patient move to the edge, gently rocking him from side to side and alternately moving his legs forward.
The patient's knees should be at a 90-degree angle with the knees and feet together. Stand with one foot next to the patient and the other in front of him, locking his knees.
In this situation you can:
- help the patient stand up;
- move it at an angle of 90 degrees from a chair to a wheelchair, etc.;
- turn it 180 degrees from the wheelchair.
In every case rocking carried out according to the same principle: they begin to move rhythmically , shifting your body weight back and forth while keeping the patient close to you.
In this case, the impulse of rocking back and forth is transmitted to the patient, and there is no need to lift the patient.
Do a few preparatory rocking motions to establish the rhythm, then move more intensely, stimulate the patient (“Get ready, do”), and the movement is done.
You can use the method axillary grip
or pelvic holds
, or waist belt
to help the patient stand up or move him from a sitting position at a 90-degree angle to another position.
The sequence of actions when transferring the patient from the “sitting” position on a chair to the “lying” position
1) Stand facing the patient so that your knees and feet support the patient's knees and feet
2) With your knees slightly bent, grab the patient by the body, while the patient’s hands are passively folded on his knees;
3) Slightly tilting the patient’s body towards you, help him rise from the chair;
4) Turning to the right, help the patient sit on the bed. Do not release the patient until you are sure that he is sitting securely;
5) Stand to the patient’s right; Place your right hand under his knees, hold his left hand behind his back at the level of his shoulder blades;
6) Raise the patient’s legs onto the bed, while turning him around his axis by 90 0, lower his head onto the pillow;
7) Make sure the patient feels comfortable, cover him;
8) Wash your hands.
When raised patient in bed or moving from bed to chair and vice versa is used Shoulder lift method
(known in practice as the "Australian uplift").
This method should not be used when the patient is unable to sit. Also, this method is not suitable for patients with injuries, disease or pain in the shoulder, chest, or upper back .
If possible, set the bed at a height that is halfway between your hip and knee, and make sure the bed is on the brake. Help the patient sit up. One nurse supports, and the other can provide a pillow, etc. Stand on both sides of the bed, facing each other, close to the bed and slightly behind the patient so that your shoulders are level with the patient's back. Legs occupy stable position, presenter foot in the direction of movement. Bend your hips and knees and keep your back as flat and straight as possible.
Place your shoulder, which is closest to the patient, from a position behind the patient's chest and under the armpit, while the patient puts his hands on his back personnel .
Place your hands at the wrists under the patient's hips as close to the buttocks as possible. Place your other arm on the bed behind the patient to support your torso, with the elbow flexed and ready to bear weight during lifting.
Then you or your colleague, depending on who is the leader, give the command to raise. Straighten your trailing leg and the elbow that is helping the patient up, and shift your weight to your leading leg. Lift the patient completely out of bed and lower them by bending your leading leg and supporting elbow. In one motion, move the patient to short distance .
When it is not possible to use the shoulder lift method, an alternative method is used lifting with a stretched sheet
Make sure the sheet under the patient is between the chest and mid-thigh. Grasp the top corner of the taut sheet while helping the patient sit up. Then grab the bottom corners of the stretched sheet. Place your leading foot in the direction of movement and use your legs and body weight to bring the patient to an upright position in the bed gradually (one of nurses
gives commands).
Lifting an obese patient requires two people on each side.

Mattress – Slider “Easy Movement”
Sanitary and epidemiological conclusion No. 77.01.06.561.P.038152.05.07 dated May 25, 2007. “Easy movement” is a very simple, convenient and effective device for moving patients from gurneys to a bed, operating or manipulation table, etc. The mattress-slider “Easy Movement” is designed for moving bedridden patients from one surface to another (bed, gurney, operating room, manipulation table, etc.) The slider makes moving patients an easy job for medical personnel and creates comfort and safety for patients. In the work of a nurse, the slider provides an invaluable service, especially when it comes to patients who need special care. It can be easily folded and then used again to move patients. Withstands a load of 200 kg. The surface on which the patient lies must be flat and hard . The height difference between the gurney and the surface can be 15 cm
It is best to move the patient together. When moving a patient from a hospital bed (operating table, etc.) to a gurney, the operator on the side of the bed easily supports the patient by the shoulders and buttocks, facing him. Another operator from the side of the gurney (operating table) unfolds the mattress-slider and (etc.) places it under the patient on 1/3 or ¼ of his body. The bedside operator places the patient on the edge of the slider mattress and, in a slow, gentle motion, rolls the patient on the slider mattress from the hospital bed to the gurney. When moving the patient back from the gurney to the bed (operating room, table, etc.), all actions are repeated, but in reverse order and the operator from the side of the hospital bed removes the mattress slider.
SLIDER PROCESSING
The sliding cover is waterproof. It can be wiped with a damp cloth, can be washed at a temperature of 60 ° C, but not in a washing machine. Disinfect (wash) with any disinfectant that does not corrode the synthetic polymer. For processing, we recommend products that do not contain strong oxidizing agents (chlorine, peroxide) with a cleaning effect, for example, “Brilliant” - 0.5-2% solution, “Brilliant Light” - 0.15-3% solution, “Diamond Paradise” - solution 0.1% -2%, etc. containing alcohols, for example “Diamond Spray”. A board in synthetic fabric can also withstand any gentle disinfectants with a detergent effect, including those based on alcohol. Do not rub a gray board with a hard brush.
ATTENTION!
1. Personnel must be familiar with the instructions for use.
2. Before moving the patient, the gurney must be firmly moved to the hospital bed (operating table, etc.) and secured by the operator.
3. The height difference between surfaces should not be higher or lower than 15cm
4. It is prohibited to use brute force when carrying out manipulations to move patients!!!
It is performed by two or more people using the “hand grab” method; the patient can sit, but does not move independently (Fig. 2.32).
