Chelsey Ammons, RN and Emily Dix, RN demonstrate how to operate a Hoyer lift, maneuvering a patient from the bed to a chair.

Left out the hard part, putting the sling under the patient or getting it from under the patient. Yes it does look like you need 2 care givers.

If without the hoyer lifting, it is better to use the 'Telison positioning bed pad with handles' to help patient on transfering by two persons' assist. It could be ordered from US amazon.

Thank you commentors. You all told me so many tips of what's the correct and incorrect use of the HoyaLift. You all were so informative. I learned the most from this video because of viewers comments. 👌🏾 Thanks for pointing out and straightening out the glitches in this video👍🏾👍🏾

I want to see how the rop is been inserted

This is what not to do, even got the sling colors wrong with that position it’s making it harder. Whoever watches this as a first time hoyer lift operator don’t use this as reference please. There’s better videos out there on how to use hoyer lifts.

Good lord. Is there a reason this wasn’t edited and corrected before posting it?

[broncmarmon]

This is not how you hook a sling to a lift for seated position long on bottom short on top

[stevec.]

This video is terrible ! You NEVER want the patient suspended in that position, you want her in a sitting upright position. If that was a real person instead of a dummy, she'd be screaming in pain, you can hurt someone this way. You don't even start out showing which color straps to use, you just start the video after that. You ALWAYS should use the lowest position color strap for the head area.

Be nice if they used a mannequin with the head actually attached

[matieshaburley]

They did it wrong. The straps are for positioning...

J'en veux pour ma mère maladie c'est combien la machine ?

Shame you wore a mask doing this demo video. As a deaf person, I haven't been able to understand a thing you have said.

[pattie]

Why don't people use a real person, it's not the same

[sadiaosumanu]

This’s the worst video I have ever seen

[sarahsmart]

Please make a new video not using a mannequin with it's head detached, not using a mannequin at all but use a real human, with real disabilities, preferably someone who is quadriplegic and has no head or upper body control. And please show the hard part.. getting the sling under the patient.
