I let the nurse do the donkey work was funny as she would try and communicate with the control then have to simplify her answer to be understood
That was the choice you and the (registered?) nurse made but rule of thumb you don't a head. I'd have imobilised head/shoulders to slide the bike out then covered with blanket. Any problems with her spine in the future and she could get to own your house...be very very careful in future. I'm retired from nursing now but while I'd still offer assistance I'd be extremely cautious and really think things through so as to maintain not only the patients safety but mine as well.Yorkshire Andy wrote: ↑Thu Sep 09, 2021 12:56 pm
Thin hair and skin laid and rough broken tarmac for several hours half an hour of been laid on her bike we had to move her nurse checked spine and neck we managed to log roll her off the bike as best we could then roll her back onto a doubled over blanket and small scatter cushion under her head ..
Lesser of 2 evils if someone is uncomfortable they keep moving trying to get comfortable if someone is comfortable they lay still
Nurses call not mine she took charge.... The PT kept trying to sit up we was trying to keep her still short of pinning her down physically it was the best compromise keep her as still as possible had the ambulance been 20 minutes It wouldn't have been a issue but the way the system is stretched 2.5+ hours is a long time to be laying on a bike on the rear axle stub digging in plus rough broken tarmac at a fair camber for anyone.....rik_uk3 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 10, 2021 8:12 pmThat was the choice you and the (registered?) nurse made but rule of thumb you don't a head.
