Patient transfer lift is a product that facilitates the lives of people, healthcare personnel, patient relatives and home caregivers who have long or short-term mobility restrictions and have to move with support, whether they have bedsores / not, whether they use air mattresses / not.
This product, also known as mobile patient transport lift, is not sufficiently known and used in our country.Even the most basic needs become a problem as a result of loss of mobility during short or long-term stays at home, in hospital or in patient care centers.
Transferring the patient from the stretcher to the patient cot, from the patient cot to the stretcher, going to and from the toilet, sitting on the seat are the first ones that come to mind.
Patient transfers, which are frequently experienced in hospitals or patient care centers, cause dramatic images for healthcare personnel.
Especially in intensive care wards, floors, patient care centers, etc., health personnel have to carry out these transfers by helping each other as a result of necessity. Especially if the patient has a weight problem, grave images emerge.
By holding the sheet under the patient from all four sides, the patient is tried to be transferred in a thousand and one difficulties, both the patient is tormented and the healthcare personnel have to work in unsuitable conditions.
In this dramatic picture, although the healthcare personnel try to help the patient with devotion, the patient's buttocks and back are usually not fully lifted. The transfer is carried out by rubbing the patient's buttocks and back against the lying surface of the bed and the hard armrests made of iron material.
While these frictions can cause bedsores even in a healthy person, they also cause more risky consequences for patients who already have bedsores.
On the other hand, in addition to the loss of workforce of the personnel whose duty is to take care of the patient's health, their own health is also endangered. Many health personnel experience various health problems due to these transfer/transport problems.
If the patient is hospitalized at home, patient transfers are a much bigger problem.
The ability of the patient's relative or caregiver to carry the patient to the toilet alone or to transfer the patient from the bed to the seat etc. in the house causes great difficulties.
Just like health personnel, the patient's relatives or caregivers may face many muscle and joint problems, especially herniated discs, cervical herniated discs, over time.
The need for a second person to assist in patient transfer not only delays the service that the patient should receive, but can also lead to many negative factors for the patient, from hygiene to pressure.
While this is the case in our country, in Europe, especially in all health institutions, all patient transfers are carried out with patient lifts.
What is a patient transport lift?
As the name suggests, it is a kind of lifting and transporting lift that transports individuals with limited mobility.
What does a patient transport lift look like?
This question, which may seem absurd to readers, actually constitutes the basis of the problem. In our country, many patients and patient relatives, and even a considerable number of health personnel, are not even aware of the existence of a product called a patient transport lift.
A patient lift consists of a motor controlled by a remote control, an arm that moves by means of this motor and a carrying cloth that hangs on the end of this arm and grasps the patient. The patient is lifted from the lying surface with the help of the lift. The patient is lifted up on the patient carrier and is no longer in contact with the lying or sitting surface. Finally, it is moved by means of the wheels of the lift, allowing the patient to be transported / transferred.
Can every patient be transported with every hoist?
Not every patient can be transported with every lift. Motors with different carrying capacities are used in patient lifts. Generally, engines with 6,000 newton, 8,000 newton and 10,000 newton power are used. The carrying capacity of each engine power is different from each other. Therefore, patient transport lifts that can lift the patient's weight should be preferred.
What should be considered in a patient transfer lift?
A) SECURITY
B) AREA OF USE
C) PATIENT CARRYING DIAPER
D) EASE OF STORAGE (COMPACT PRODUCT)
A) SECURITY
The most important feature to be considered in the patient transfer lift should be safety.
Safety can be summarized with seven items.
1- Origin and brand of the motor of the patient transfer lift.
2- Carrying capacity of the motor of the patient transfer lift.
3- Origin and brand of the wheels used in the patient transfer lift.
4- Wall thickness of the metal parts used in the patient transfer lift.
5- Connection parts of the metal parts used in the patient transfer lift.
6- Welding places and paint of the metal parts used in the patient transfer lift.
7- The form of the patient carrying cloth used in the patient transfer lift.
Origin and brand of the motor of the patient transfer lift.
As in different sectors, many motor brands are widely used in the health sector.
It is necessary to use brands that will not cause problems and will not compromise the safety of the patient during patient transfer. These motors, which are charged by means of an adapter, must be equipped to warn the patient's relatives before the charging time runs out.
Otherwise, there must be an emergency button to complete the transfer of the patient in case the charge runs out. With the emergency button, the patient transfer should be completed smoothly.
The carrying capacity of the motor of the patient transfer lift.
As mentioned above, attention should be paid to the maximum lifting power of the motors used in patient transport lifts. Although the weight loss of the patient is not important in the use of the lift, if it is thought that the patient may gain weight, the upper carrying capacity should be evaluated.
The origin and brand of the wheels used in the patient transfer lift.
The patient transport lift carries the patient to the destination with the help of four wheels after lifting the patient. Patient transport lift wheels are usually 10 cm in diameter. A single bearing is not enough for a wheel of this size to easily carry tens of kilos.
Single bearing wheels require greater effort as the load increases.
Wall thickness of the metal parts used in the patient transfer lift.
The main body and carrying parts of the patient transfer lift are made of various metals. The wall thickness of the metal material used with the motor is also an important issue in the safe transportation of the patient.
Metal parts that do not have sufficient wall thickness can be deformed and become impossible to use due to the weight carried and possible impacts.
Connection parts of the metal parts used in the patient transfer lift.
The metal body of the patient transfer lift consists of many parts. The quality of the nuts, bolts, etc. that bring these parts together is at least as important as the wall thickness and quality of the metal parts. Stainless steel products resistant to rust should be preferred.
Welding places and paint of the metal parts used in the patient transfer lift.
Some parts of the patient transfer lift are made ready for use with nuts, bolts, etc., while some parts are fixed by welding. The welds of this product used to transport patients should be made with a workmanship that will not cause errors.
In order to prevent rusting in a short time and as a result of impacts, products prepared by sanding, putting putty, primer paint and finally special paint should be preferred.
The form of the patient carrying cloth used in the patient transfer lift.
It is important to choose the right patient carrying diaper for the healthy use of patient transfer lifts. Each patient is different in height and weight, and the posture or positioning required for transfer is also different.
B ) AREA OF USE
Patient transport lifts are products that should be preferred considering their usage areas. At home or in the hospital, wherever it is used, the doorways should allow the lift to pass through.
If the patient is lying on a cot, there should be a minimum gap of 11 cm between the cot and the floor.
Another consideration is the width of the area of use. If the patient needs to be completely lowered or picked up from the floor, products with appropriate dimensions should be preferred.
If there are carpets, rugs, thresholds, etc. in the area of use, double bearing wheels should definitely be preferred.
C) PATIENT TRANSPORT DIAPER
The most important criterion for the healthy, comfortable and safe use of patient transport lifts is the selection of the right patient transport diaper.
Patient carrying diapers are made of fabric. It is necessary to choose the right product for the comfort, safety and hygiene of the patient. Products that feel hard to the touch should be avoided. Soft tissue should be felt when touched. Products whose end points are not supported by sponge when grasping the patient cause friction and crushing during patient transfer.
Although the time to be spent on the patient transfer lift for short toilet, transfer, etc. needs seems to be less, fabrics made of hard material and insufficiently softened folds may cause bruising and even injury to the patient's skin.
It is necessary to choose a patient carrying diaper suitable for the patient's height and weight. As with healthy people, patients should also choose products suitable for their body size. Transferring a large-sized patient with a medium-sized patient carrying diaper will cause problems.
Unfortunately, in our country, regardless of the height, weight and needs of the patient, only one type of patient carrying diaper is offered for use with lifts and therefore the use of lifts is not widespread enough as a result of the problems experienced.
The mobility of your patient is another important issue that should be evaluated under a separate heading. If you are going to take your patient to the toilet with the lift and sit him/her on the urinal etc., you need to choose a different diaper; if you are going to go to the toilet while hanging on the patient transport lift without sitting anywhere, you need to choose a different diaper; if you have partial loss of mobility, you need to choose a different diaper; if he/she is completely unconscious or has lost all of his/her body functions, you need to choose a different diaper.
It should be known that there are about 40 different patient carrying diapers and that these 40 different patient carrying diapers should be in small, medium and large sizes. And of course, the correct use of the patient carrying diaper should be learned by the patient's relatives from the seller in a complete and complete manner.
The use of each patient carrying diaper is different from each other. Any detail you overlook will cause problems for the patient and the patient's relatives.
D) EASE OF STORAGE (COMPACT PRODUCT)
Patient transport lifts are not products that are used continuously. Products that can be easily folded when not in use and do not take up space in the room, intensive care unit or elderly care centers should be preferred.
It is recommended that individual patients buy products that can fit in the back of any vehicle when traveling to and from the cottage for ease of use.
