Abstract

One ofthe most crucial elements ofthe medical recovery process is the management and transportation ofpatients. Patient handling and lifting mistakes can result in serious injuries to the patient. For example, lifting, transferring, repositioning, and moving patients without using the right techniques or handling equipment might result in musculoskeletalinjuries. Additionally, lifting patients can hurt the nurses and other hospital workers and demand more manpower (stronger people). While handling and transporting patients, both the nursing staffand the patient may grow weary. In order to safely lift, lower, or move patients with the least amount of labor and with the least amount ofrisk, we have developed aflexible patient handling.
