7. Continue lifting the patient. It is a good
idea to put your arm around the patient
while you are moving him/her to create a
greater sense of security.
Lifting the patient from a lying position
1. Make sure that the surface, e.g. the bed, is
completely level.
2. Lay the patient on his/her side. Position
the sling so that the centre of the sling li-
nes up with the patient's spine. The sling's
label should be facing upward, away from
the patient. The lower part of the sling
must be level with the patient's coccyx.
3. Roll the patient over onto his/her other
side and pull the sling forward.
4. Lay the patient on his/her back. Make sure
the sling is centred over the shoulders
and back. If the bed is height-adjustable,
it is a good idea to raise the head of the
bed so that the patient is in a semi-sitting
position.
5. Pull the leg parts forward between the pa-
tient's legs. Pull the leg part´s lifting straps
to make sure they are the same length.
Make sure the leg parts are not crumpled.
6. Lower the hanger bar to the height of the
patient's stomach. Attach the sling's lifting
straps to the hanger bar. Hold the hanger
bar away from the patient's face with one
hand as you raise it above the patient's
head. See section "Attachment options for
leg support" for different ways of attaching
the sling to the hanger bar.
