This slider does work with patients that can not move or help. My trick is use a strong non disposable underpad ( Chuck ) with handles. First you put the slider down then on top put the underpad with handles . Then of course patient is on top of these 2 layers. Then patient can slide up or side to side to turn . Make sure to position the slider to which way you are going to slide patient. This makes it much more easier to position patient in bed. It's a life saver for your arms and back. Good luck to all the caregivers out there. Hope this tip can help someone out there who is carrying for a love one or is working as a caregiver.
Thank you for this information. I could not find any information on moving patient by myself. My back is almost gone. No one told me about this, even home health or nurses.
A patient that is that capable of rolling over on their side could more than likely be positioned themselves.. how about some reality based instruction please
Here's how I do it at home with my 79 year old disabled sister. She has a inexpensive hospital bed. I lower the head down to the level position. Then raise the foot of the bed as high as it will go. I place my hands on the bottom of her feet and push. As I push I tell her to wiggle her torso which helps to break the friction between her clothing and bed sheet. A slider sheet is not used. This method works well. Just be careful that the person being pushed doesn't have leg or foot problems.
Try using a patient that can barely move, overweight and in pain. Not someone who looks as though they practice yoga on a daily basis. These BS manual handling updates are unrealistic and a waste of time. use real uncooperative patients, then see how easy it is.
Thank you! They always seem to take the easy route when it comes to showing what to do. I just wish someone would show how to reposition someone who is overweight and has dementia.
@@blurrrb1093 Yes training always starts by showing the ideal. Once students understand the principles then you move on to how to make it work in practice with individual patients. If you have problems with a particular patient ask at you workplace if they have an MSIP coach that can assess that patient. PS for a patient that is immobile or unable to assist in any way you should be using a full length sling and overhead lift not a one person minimal assist
@@blurrrb1093 if they are ina hospital bed. Unable to help at all, Try; Lift legs first, position yourself at the head of bed, then pull on drawsheet/gurney/whatever is under them to pull them towards head of the bed. (If the bed is inflatable, doing this at full firmness is easiest) And to keep from sliding down again, legs up before head up
This! I’ve done home health for 7 years. I know all of the techniques. I came looking for videos because I currently have a patient who is very overweight. When he had to have surgery on his leg, he got to where he could no longer assist with moving up in the bed. Sometimes he can, sometimes he can’t. His daughter is expecting the impossible out of me on those days he just doesn’t have the strength to help. He has a California king sized bed with wheels that don’t lock, and no railing. Which makes techniques difficult or impossible to do. Without his help, he is a 2 person assist. I am at a loss at what to do. His daughter did invest in a hoyer lift, but she did not move the room around to accommodate the lift. She won’t allow me to make the necessary adjustments to his room to be able to successfully use the lift. I’m desperately trying to find a video with some revelation in it to help me.
I have grandma who is now 88 years old... She has metal prosthesis made of titanium in her left hip bone and also asthmatic, small movements can cause Wheezing and coughing to her... I'm d only 1 who takes care of her. Is this applicable to her?
how I wish my husband can do that his cognition is very bad and does not understand it would be easier for me if he did, it can help me help his foot to heal that is bent and does not straighten out
It depends on the condición of the patent. This, are just ideas that may help. If you have an special case, you may need a second person to asiste and other techniques. BR
i found out hospitals cant be bothered to learn about mental health ... i have cptsd and adhd and personality dissorder lol i learned your deescalation techniques ... lol wont work on me get ready for a non complaint non adherence patient lol if you physically touch me thats assault or sexual assault get ready for an investigation on your record .... lol gonna be a lot of arguing loudly hope the other patients like shouting ... lol i have no empathy and dont understand morals really gonna be fun ... not

I am learning a lot from theses videos. As I am care giver to my husband
hahaha If patient could do all that, they would also be able to reposition themselves higher on the bed.
Do you have a technique for lifting someone up in the bed ( by yourself) who is unable to assist in the move?
Try to overlap clouth chucks. Lay pt supine and from the top of the bed grab either side of chucks and pull
Thank you for this video 🙂 I have a question: do you ask the patient to lift their hips as they push with their feet? Thank you.
