Lift and Carry a Supine Patient © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC

Lift and Carry a Supine Patient Number of Patient Attendants Deploy the HILT Position the HILT Logroll the Patient Stabilize with Safety Straps Deploy Extenders Grasp Handles Proper Lifting Mechanics Lift in Unison and Carry These topics regarding “Lift and Carry a Supine Patient” will be discussed during this presentation. © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC

Number of Patient Attendants At least three Up to fourteen At least three patient attendants are needed for this move. As many as fourteen may be used. © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC

Deploy the HILT Deploy the HILT with the label up Deploy the HILT with the label UP to keep the handles DOWN. © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC

Position the HILT Fold or roll up the end Position the end just above knees Alternative for larger patient and more attendants Ensure the patient’s head is positioned within the HILT and not extending beyond the HILT’s upper edge. Fold or roll up the end of the HILT to make it a little shorter. This helps prevent part of the HILT from hanging down loosely below the patient and creating a hazard. Lay the HILT next to the patient with the end just above the knees. When lifted, the patient’s lower legs will hang off the end of the HILT. As an alternative, if the patient is large and additional patient attendants will be needed, do not fold or roll up the end of the HILT. Use the full length of the HILT to allow additional attendants to lift and carry the patient. Up to 14 attendants can use the HILT at one time to help distribute the patient’s weight. © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC

Logroll the Patient Logroll the patient Slide the HILT next to the patient Ensure the end is just above knees Logroll the patient onto the HILT Ensure the patient’s head is positioned within the HILT and not extending beyond the HILT’s upper edge. Logroll the patient away from the HILT. Slide the HILT next to the patient and position the end just above the patient’s knees. If the full length of the HILT is used, slide the HILT next to the patient and position the end just beyond the patient’s head. Logroll the patient back onto the HILT. © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC

Stabilize with Safety Straps Deploy the desired safety straps Safety straps across legs Safety straps across chest If desired, deploy safety straps across the legs and chest. The safety straps across the chest can be positioned straight from side-to-side or in an “X” pattern. If the full length of the HILT is used for a larger/taller patient, the safety straps across the legs can be positioned straight from side-to-side or in an “X” pattern. © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC

Deploy Extenders Deploy the desired extenders Use extenders at: Knees Waist Chest Head Deploy enough extenders for each patient attendant to use. As a minimum, deploy extenders at the knees and waist. One attendant can position on each side of the patient’s thighs (two attendants at thighs). A third attendant can position at the head. Additional attendants allow for additional extenders to be deployed. If four attendants are available, one attendant can position on each side of the patient’s thighs and one attendant can position on each side of the patient’s chest/head. This will allow extenders to be used at the patient’s knees, waist, chest, and head. If additional attendants are available, or needed, additional extenders and handles can be used. © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC

Grasp Handles Determine how high to lift Use the appropriate handles Determine how high to lift the patient based upon where the patient will need to be carried and delivered. Use the appropriate “low”, “medium”, or “high” lift handles. © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC

Proper Lifting Mechanics Legs parallel with ground Back straighter Head up Arms straight Proper lifting mechanics help minimize the likelihood of injury. As much as possible, begin with legs parallel with the ground, maintain a straighter back, keep the head up, and maintain straighter arms. © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC

Lift in Unison and Carry Carry patient to desired location Use good communication and lift in unison. Carry the patient to the desired location. © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC © 2013 HILT – Human Injury-Limiting Tool, LLC
