Theatre Efficiency
Less handling. Less repositioning. More time between cases.
- Simplify patient transfer and positioning.
- Reduce unnecessary handling and repositioning to help save valuable time during changeovers between cases.
AORN Recommendations for Safe Patient Handling and Mobility
- “Select patient lift equipment that minimizes the physical forces required to move the patient. [Recommendation]” Section 4.3.1
- “Use assistive technology if any team member is required to lift more than 35 lb (16 kg) of the patient’s weight. [Recommendation]” Section 5.2.1
- “Use assistive technology specifically designed for the task to be performed (eg, lateral transfer) according to the manufacturer’s IFU. [Recommendation]” Section 5.2.2
