Patient transport tables

Patient transport table – purpose

In medical assistance centers it often happens that a severely ill person needs to be moved from one room to another or transported to another medical facility. This should be done in an appropriate way so as not to jeopardize the health and comfort of the patient. Therefore, every medical facility, such as a hospital, health center, rehabilitation center and a social care home, should be equipped with trolleys and tables for transporting patients. It is also a significant simplification for doctors – it solves the problem of instant patient movement.

What should transport tables and trolleys have to be safe for patients and functional?
Transport tables – the most important features, amenities

Transport tables must be safe, stable and resistant to high loads. Their frame is made of powder-coated steel, while the mattress is covered with upholstery resistant to cleaning and the use of disinfectants. Stands out:

• fixed height transport tables;
• height-adjustable transport tables.

Trolleys for transporting patients can have a fixed height or allow height adjustment using a manual or hydraulic mechanism. The easiest to use are patient transport tables with hydraulic adjustment, although such models will also be the most expensive.

To prevent patients from accidentally sliding off, transport beds must be equipped with folding side rails and headboards. In addition, they should have a directional wheel that will make it easier to maneuver them. A lock is also necessary to prevent accidental movement of the bed. If the bed is not equipped with an individual drive lock, check if it can be fitted with a central braking system, which can be purchased separately.

More advanced models may be able to obtain Trendelenburg and anti-Trendelenburg positions. Most of them have a drip stand and a headrest, although these are elements that can also be retrofitted in a specialist store.

Additional equipment of beds for transporting patients includes:

• paper roll holder;
• urine bag holder;
• oxygen cylinder basket.
