People that are saying this is poor technique have obviously never lifted a patient. Been doing this for years. Never hurt myself nor a patient.

Why do you'll keep using small clients? So many of these clients are over 200 pounds, we need to know how to manage a heavier patient

Yes they need to use heavy patients it's very difficult to move and transfer heavy patients. I just give up my because she us a horse and do not help herself

Your instructions tips were really useful and adds more to my daily...

Very useful and informative information thanks very much I feel much better taking care of my patient now.

Good teaching instruction for most situations. Something may be learned even for the person caring for someone at home alone. The Bed Sled may make the moves easier for one person depending on the patient's condition. Its always easier with 2 sets of hands.I have gotten my husband off the floor using the mechanical lift and its sling. Just need to have enough room around the patient to get the lift to him. Thanks Tx:Team for a great video.

“Use the bed to help you” Great advice 👍

Use a Hoyer lift to get pt from the floor back to bed, one care hiver can drop a corner of the sheet, the sheet can rip, the pt may panick,...always use a lift machine

Thanks, Caregiversaidedomain! We're happy you found the video helpful. :)

I'd like to imagine this person being a genuine patient who's very confused as they keep telling him to sit up and lie back down over and over.

tnx a lot

no gait belt on the patient?

this is funny, the patient moves himself

Thanks i just had to use this vedeo to explain to a patents wife on why i did it like i did, after she called me un trained, and un skilled, im a 24hr cna

Will this work even for heavy weighted bed ridden person

What to do when the patient resists and holds onto the chair.

You need an extra coworker and gait belt to help hold them up during the transfer. Normally, just talk to the person, telling them to reach for the chair or side rail near the surface they are transferring to. If they still won't let go, you may need to halp them sit back down and explain the transfer again, explaining where you need their hands to be. If they are confused, at that point you can guide them to hold onto your waist or arms as you help transfer from the front, while your coworker helps guide them from the back.

Are there any aides or tips you can provide for a single caregiver? Sounds like it is not really recommended, but in an emergency situation, are there any techniques you could use in a pinch?

For sliding them back up in bed, the stuff they said was good, however if it's just you, and the bed has wheels, move the head away from the wall,(lock wheels).... Put the feet higher then the the head, position yourself at the head of the bed, using gravity to help them slide, you will grab the gurney/sling/drawsheet/whatever to pull them toward you to however high they want to be. Then with the feet up begin to sit them up. Remember feet up before head to keep from sliding again. She did cover lots of points, this is just one.

you missed showing how to place sliding sheet under the patient unless all patients sleep with a sliding sheet under......lol. i think its a very important step. you are obviously in a hospital and have got approval to film these guidelines it will be a shame to not have it properly covered

Sliding a patient isn't that hard without a sliding sheet. But for bigger patients id say its a necessity.

Wouldn't a transfer board work better than a full manuel lift?

If you aren't strong enough to lift the person then ya. We got a hoyer lift for a much heavier patient who is unable to assist

A transfer board is usually just used to transfer patients from an adjustable hospital bed up onto the operating table in theatre. They're not commonly used up in the aged care wards.

Please what of Australian lifting

@DavidNesbit_theTHINKER

Within the Australian context, the Swedish SARA STEADY Machine is very helpful for single carer patient standing and transfers but it is very costly at aud$6,250 whereas there is an Australian designed alternative made by AIDACARE which is their Aspire Patient Stander Machine at ~$3,200. We recently purchased the Aspire machine and it has made life so much better (& safer) for us as we care for a high-care needs relative at home, i.e., single person care for all adls; transfers, and care.

It maybe because I was trained in England, but isn't it supposed to be "Ready, Steady, Slide"?

Never heard that one (trained in US). I t sounds nice, though. Wherever I've worked, we normally seem to say "1, 2, 3 (go/lift/turn/whatever action)"

In the Australian context, we used Ready, Steady, Slide in the operating theatre when transferring patients onto the operating table. It is safe and all team members are aware of the timing for their actions.

Outdated techniques sliding someone across the bed. Concerns regarding friction on the heels. Plus no clear instructions like Ready, steady, slide.

What about an overweight patient

I don’t know how I went from Priests lifting in a gym to patient lifting

Wow, these transfers are demonstrating very poor practise. Maybe they're ok in the states. Have they not heard of slide sheets??? Don't copy these moves unless you want to hurt yourself.

If the carer is working by themselves in a 1-on-1 situation then they must use gravity to assist them as well as ongoing adjustment of the hospital bed position settings. Not everyone is able to have two persons for patient movement.

Wrong I use to day care these people not get gloves you can't lift don't use sheet to transfer use slide sheet cause they never check the person to see if the sheet not cut the them

Never put the head of the bed lower than the feet to make your job easier, too much pressure in the brain , rather go to. the gym and get stronger,

This is totally wrong! Why are you showing manual lifting when it accounts for the majority of injuries to staff? That pulling/pushing force is 10X the patients weight so if patient weights 150lbs you just put 1500lbs on your back. This needs to be removed!

If it was 1500 lbs youd break your back. You have no idea what you are talking about. These are efficient methods to transfer a patient. I do this all the time and it feels like nothing.

The crucial aspect they glossed over in the video is that the carer can use the trellenburg (bed) position and gravity to more readily move their patient without causing risk of damage to carer's back. This technique is particularly beneficial in a single carer home scenario.

This is NOT appropriate movement! Need to use lift equipment and/or friction reducing items. Outdated practice.

@onyx_vii7808

This is the most efficient way to move a patient with no equipment.

Very poor methods of patient handling. Injuries waiting to happen. No lift is standard of care.

TOO MUCH DAMN TALKING. She should tell us the basic steps to follow. She should demonstrate for us. That's it, video over and valuable knowledge shared. Go back to work (safely!).

Sorry but I couldn't watch too much of this video, the nasal, high-pitched voice went right through my head. Why DO so many American women speak like that? Apologies to you, but it really grates! PS: Very incorrect technique too!
