  10. DHO- Chapter 21:1Positioning, Turning, Moving, and Transferring Patients

  11. Positioning, Turning, Moving, and Transferring Patients • Improper turning, moving can cause serious injury • Enough staff, proper mechanical devices, and good body mechanics are essential

  12. Alignment • Is defined as positioning body parts in relation to each other to maintain correct body posture • Benefits include: • Pressure ulcer prevention aka Decubitus ulcers • Contractures- • Tightening or shortening of muscle- caused by lack of movement ---- Foot drop prevention

  13. Decubitus or Pressure Ulcers • AKA= bedsores • Caused by prolonged pressure to an area of the body • Interferes with circulation • Common areas ( bones close to the skin) • Sacral area • Hips • knees • Heels • elbows

  14. Pressure points

  15. Stages of Decubitus Ulcers/Bedsores Stage 1- Skin is unbroken but irritated Stage 2- Skin is broken into the epidermis or dermis Stage 3- Ulcer extends to the subcutaneous fat tissue Stage 4- Ulcer extends to muscle or bone

  16. Progression of Pressure Ulcer

  17. Sacral, Buttock and Gluteal Areas

  18. Elbow, Heels, Ankles, Head

  19. Pressure Ulcers

  20. Prevention • Turning patients every 2 hours • Elevate and cushion pressure points at all times • Massage high pressure areas to promote circulation • Use of egg crates- gel mattress, air mattress • Careful observation and documentation of skin condition • Good nutrition

  21. Contractures • Contractures • Tightening or shortening of muscle- caused by lack of movement ---- Foot drop prevention

  22. Contractures

  23. Preventive Devices

  24. Positioning, Turning, Moving,and Transferring Patients(continued) • Turning • Dangling • Transfers

  25. Turning • All patients confined to bed must be turned frequently • Stimulated circulation • Exercise • Preventing ulcers & contractures • At a MINIMUN – q2h!!!! • Turning clock used in most facilities

  26. Dangling • Should be done when patients has been in bed for a long period of time • Recommendation- check pulse rate before, during and after the dangling procedure • Dangling_ • Sitting on the side of the bed with legs hanging over the side • Allows for readjustment of BP and pulse rate • Assess of dizziness or weakness, pallor, respiratory changes as well

  27. Dangling

  28. Transfers • Patients are frequently moved in the hospital environment • Before moving • check doctor order • mode of transportation • utilize the necessary staff • During the move • Assess and constantly observe patient • Any changes in pulse, RR, color, weakness, dizziness, pain must be reported STAT • RETURN To Comfortable position

  29. Transportation & Mechanical Lifts • Many modes of transportation are used • Wheelchairs • Stretchers • Mechanical lift

  30. Wheelchairs

  31. Stretchers

  32. Mechanical Lifts

  33. Summary • Always obtain proper authorization or orders before moving or transferring a patient • Never move or transfer a patient without correct authorization • Watch the patient closely during any move or transfer

  34. Summary(continued) • If you note any abnormal changes, return the patient to a safe and comfortable position and check with your immediate supervisor • Supervisor will determine if the move or transfer should be attempted
