The Science Behind Safe Emergency Patient Handling
Effective patient handling, especially in emergency and prehospital care, involves biomechanical and clinical safeguards:
1. Stability During Movement
Poor stabilization can aggravate:
- Suspected spinal injuries
- Pelvic fractures
- Lower-limb trauma
- Respiratory distress
Ferno’s rigid frames and secure restraint systems minimize unnecessary motion.
2. Load Distribution & Ergonomics
EMS responders frequently lift 150–500 lbs, increasing risk of back injuries.
Ferno’s design reduces strain by:
- Using multi-position handles
- Enabling track-assisted descent
- Distributing weight across multiple lift points
3. Oxygen & Airway Considerations
Transport often requires monitoring or supporting breathing.
Ferno equipment allows:
- Semi-upright positions
- Airway stabilization
- Integration with oxygen supplies during ambulance movement
4. Rapid Scene Exits
Critical when:
- Fire hazards
- Structural collapse
- Confined-space dangers
Basket stretchers and stair chairs ensure fast, controlled extraction.
