Removing while the patient remains
in a supine position
(5 Steps)
1. Adjust the bed into an appropriate height for the
caregivers, avoiding the need to overstretch.
2. Put one arm underneath the patient's knees or
ankles. Reach for the lower corner of the sliding
aid and turn it under itself. (See Figure 15)
NOTE
It is possible to pull both sliding sheets at the
same time.
3. Grip the corner of the sliding aid and pull it
towards you in the direction of the head end.
4. Pull the sliding aid in a steady movement close
to the surface by shifting your weight from your
front leg to your back leg. Pick up the slack in
the fabric, if necessary, by doing 'hand over
hand' until there is an even force with your arms
outstretched. (See Figure 16)
5. Repeat this action until the sliding aid has been
removed from under the patient.
