Using a Medical Hoist in an Operating Room
The working environment in an operating theatre is often high stress, with a combination of precise work processes and limitations on available space. As patients in operating theatres are generally under the influence of painkillers and/or anaesthetics, they are rarely capable of providing any assistance themselves when they are being lifted, moved and positioned, this is where the true benefits of a medical hoists can really be utilised.
Common lifting and moving procedures in operating theatres that can be made safer and more efficient using a Medical hoist system include:
- Lifting extremities to allow washing or sterilisation, or as part of the operation itself
- Repositioning patients on the operating table
- Lifting patients with limited movement
- Turning patients positioned on their stomach hoist
- Turning patients onto their side on the operating table
- Moving patients between bed/stretcher trolley and the operating table
- Positioning thorax pillows
- Positioning legs in leg slings
