Cot Operation
Transferring the Patient to the
Cot
Roll the cot to the patient.
Place the cot beside the patient and raise/lower the cot to the patient's level. Lower the siderails (optional
equipment) and open the restraint straps.
Transfer the patient to the cot using accepted EMS procedures.
Use all the restraints to secure the patient to the cot (see pages 1−33 & 1−34 for restraint strap usage instruc-
tions). Raise the siderails (optional equipment) and adjust the backrest and leg rest as necessary.
WARNING
Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient on the cot. An unrestrained patient may fall from the cot
resulting in injury.
