(4) Have second nurse positioned at opposite side of bed.

Maintains patient safety, preventing fall from bed.

(5) Roll patient on side away from you.

Positions patient for placement of lift sling.

(6) Place hammock or canvas strips under patient to form sling. With two canvas pieces, lower edge fits under patient's knees (wide piece), and upper edge fits under patient's shoulders (narrow piece).

Two types of seats are supplied with mechanical/hydraulic lift: hammock style is better for patients who are flaccid, weak, and need support; canvas strips can be used for patients with normal muscle tone. Be sure hooks face away from patient's skin. Place sling under patient's center of gravity and greatest part of body weight.
