In a dream world, you make it look so easy but in actuality it is not that easy especially when the patient is dead weight and fighting 😔

[TraceyMcKissen]

I have had my husband in and out of the hospital on home health on hospice not one person or therapist or a nurse could show me what he just showed me thank you so much My husband will be much better off now that you show this video God bless you

[PascalSeconds]

The bed should be raised to the carer's hip height to reduce strain on the carer.

[vylett]

can you do a video on a dead weight patient? not one that can move on their own. would be SO helpful!

[andrewchiongsantillan]

Why put rail down When pushing away from you? Thats risky.. its safer if you turn patient toward you

[mr-tlxc]

When you drop the rail on the far side, you have increased the danger of the patient rolling over the far edge of the bed, unless there is another person standing on the other side . Especially when you pull the sheet towards you. This dangerous rolling over point has been drastically overlooked by you.

Thank you for this as I'm caring for my elderly dad who is getting worse at moving himself. Will help when I have to manouver him through night

[oneand]

Thats great when you have someone that helps you and has the ability to move themselves.

I’m not sure how old this video is, but you would always lift the bed to about your hip level (maybe even a little higher) when repositioning and you never lower rails when rolling a patient on their side! They might roll of the dang bed! I also always leave the pillows in place. Make sure to lower the patients bed to lowest position with wheels locked and their call bell in their reach when you are done. Don’t forget bottom foot rails need to be lowered as well, or it can be considered a restraint. Good luck!

Thank you for this video. Thank you for saying, that treating like a person is still so important. Bless you ❤️🙏

[marebeldiaz]

i think it is important to keep the railings locked on the other side of the bed, just to be safe that the patient/client will not fall☺️

[AbieyuwaOdighizuwa]

The bed was not raised to as safe working level of the caregiver, you as the caregiver have to protect your back in order to properly care for the patient.

[voodazz]

If only my mother was so accommodating. She has limited use of her legs, has severe dementia and is absolutely terrified throughout the entire process.

[karenellshore]

Very unsafe practice here, the patient moved himself, don't think I will follow these methods

[katherineelisabethbrown]

In my state it is illegal to push a patient away from you while repositioning. THINK about it. They could roll right off the bed, rails down, no safety at all! This video is teaching unsafe techniques.

[MaryMizoVlog]

You need sliding sheet to avoid friction burn and also to save your back 🤗

[tatto]

You need to raise the bed at a comfortable working height, and for pt. safety I like to leave one rail up.

[dyanjones]

Stupid lesson. Before you turn the patient, make sure that the rails on the side is up or someone is on the other side of the bed to avoid fall

[dirtycarpet]

i do like the way he moved the patient.

[helenbailey]

Do the turning with a patient that really can’t help himself. My hubby makes himself stiff and it is very hard to turn him. How do you turn someone like this. He can’t roll by himself
