Instruct patient how to assist.

Use ceiling lift or full body lifting device with 1 or 2 limb slings if:

  1. Patient cannot maintain position for entire procedure without assistance.
  2. Positioning requires staff to lift/push/pull over 35 lbs or work in awkward positions or
  3. Fatigue results.

Pad sling for prolonged tasks.

Bariatric patients may require additional caregivers.
