Inhaltsangabe

Owing to the demand for better living quality of immobilized patients, and working condition of caregiver, the functions and the convenience of hospital bed should be improved accordingly. Transferring of immobilized patients is usually the work of nursing staff. Transfer of patients from one bed to another or from bed to wheelchair or from bed to stretcher is a labour intensive work. It usually needs more than one nurse to do this job, which is very strenuous for nurses and dangerous for patient, if inappropriate operational procedure is used. The present methods of patient handling are facilitated by trolley or trolley cum stretcher. The modern patient handling trolleys are provided with arrangement to push them into ambulance on a slant surface. Still no mechanization is available in present patient handling system to prevent the manual transfer of patient from hospital bed to trolley, trolley to CT scan or other facility centre and from trolley to hospital bed. The present research work is an attempt to design a trolley with adjustable height and provision to accommodate an aluminium slider (in three parts) which also forms the top part of hospital bed.
