If you are caring for someone who is bedridden or has limited mobility, you may need to lift them frequently. Lifting a person can be a physically demanding task, so it is important to ensure that you are doing it safely to protect yourself and the person being lifted. This article provides tips on how to lift a bedridden patient safely and confidently.
- Have a helper: It is not recommended to lift a person alone. It is best to have a "lifting buddy" to assist you. Make sure to choose a reliable assistant who can help you and the person being lifted.
- Use a كرسي رفع المريض المصعد: A patient lift chair, such as the BMW03, can make the lifting process easier and safer. Follow these steps to use the lift chair:
- Move the electric shifter to the bed.
- Lift the patient out of bed and sit them by the bed.
- Open the safety latch on the back of the lift and move the lift to the front of the patient. Apply the brakes to prevent the lift from slipping. Place the patient's feet on the lift's pedals.
- Place the sling, made of thickened nylon for comfort, under the patient's armpits and lift them.
- Close the safety latch on the back and lower the patient into a seated position as soon as possible.
- To move the patient, release the brake by depressing the shorter pad on the brake pad. You can use the lift chair to move the patient to the bathroom or toilet in the same way.
- Follow safety precautions: To protect your personal safety and the life of the motor, make sure the charging port is closed before showering. The lift chair has a waterproof rating of IP44, so you can sit directly on the lift chair to shower. However, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and use caution when doing so.
Before using the patient lift chair, be sure to read the product instruction manual carefully. The charging time is 2-4 hours, and the lift chair should not be used while it is charging. If the product fails to work, contact your dealer or the manufacturer's hotline for assistance.
