PATIENT HANDLING – PREVENTING PATIENT DROPS
Course: Participant Level – 1/2 Day or 1 Day; Course: Instructor Level – 1 Day

Every day we are called to scenes involving patient movement from simply putting a patient back in bed to some of the most complex calls that challenge even the most experienced EMS provider. We have a variety of patient-moving devices available to transfer patients from point A to point B safely. Why do we continue to drop patients? This program is intended to make patient care providers more aware of the issues surrounding patient transfer and preventing patient drops.
