Take care to prevent a paent from falling off the stretcher even when side-rail are
raised.
The paent may fall off the stretcher from the end of side-rail or the head end or the foot end of
the stretcher, resulng in injury.
If the paent bends forward over the side-rail, and may fall off the stretcher, resulng in injury.
It is not effecve enough to prevent the paent from falling off the the stretcher when raising the
back secon base.
Be especially careful to check paents who might act in unexpected ways or cannot maintain their
posture independently.
When leaving the stretcher area temporarily taking your eyes off the paent, check the
maress base angle and the stretcher height, and raise the side-rail.
If the physician, nurse or caregiver leaves the stretcher area or temporarily takes their eyes off the
paent, adjust the maress base angle and the stretcher height according to the paent’s condion,
and raise the side-rail because there is a slight chance that the paent could fall off the stretcher.
As necessary, use the restraint belts.
Use the stretcher in the correct orientaon.
Lying down on the stretcher with the feet at
head end and the head at the feet end induces
and unnatural posture during stretcher operaon
(base angle) which may result in injury.
Do not perform any angle adjustment when the paent is lying face down or on their
side (in any posture other than lying face up).
Pay aenon to the casters which face outward.
If the casters face outward, the paent may fall over the casters, resulng in injury.
As necessary, force the casters face inward when locking the casters.
