==== Use of MegaMovers ==== | |||
MegaMovers are intuitive enough not to require a handbook. But a few notes are in order: | |||
* MegaMovers are designed for dragging patients when necessary. However, a MegaMover used for dragging should not be used again for patient transport. | |||
* Most (not all) MegaMovers stocked in BEECNs have a cross strap to help secure the patient. Use of a cross strap is particularly important for dragging. | |||
* Don't forget how many people it takes to transport a patient safely. Best practice is four ''minimum''. A MegaMover will allow for up to ten people helping. | |||
* A MegaMover is about 2 lbs. by itself, and folds down to 10" x 12" x 1". A deployed MegaMover is 32” x 72” and has a load limit of 500 lbs. | |||
