The long-term objective of this project is the elimination of the hazard created when nursing staff manually lift patients. To achieve this, an innovative patient-handling device has been developed for lifting, weighing and transporting patients. It consists of a stretcher, an electro-mechanical lifting apparatus, a precision scale, and the unique ability to become narrow to fit through doors, and become wide to fit over hospital beds. Features include a privacy curtain, recessed intravenous pump brackets, oxygen, suction, intubation and other emergency equipment. Specific aims of the project are testing and evaluating 48 devices in 12 hospitals for one year and to demonstrate the feasibility of eliminating most manual patient lifting. During Phase I of this SBIR grant, a prototype was constructed and tested with nursing students. Phase II will extend testing to a nation wide sampling of hospitals. The staff who will be using the equipment will receive training and they will be asked to serve as evaluators of the training and the device. Data for determining component reliability will be obtained, and product safety analyses will be completed. Absenteeism and other statistics due to manual lifting will be compared. Independent consultants will develop the evaluation instruments and analyze the results.

该项目的长期目标是消除危险 当护理人员手动抬起患者时创建。 为此， 创新的患者处理设备已开发用于提升， 称重和运输患者。 它由担架，一个 电力起重设备，精确量表和独特的量表 能够狭窄的能力穿过门，并变得宽阔以适应 病床。 功能包括私密窗帘，嵌入式静脉内 泵支架，氧气，吸力，插管和其他紧急设备。 该项目的具体目的是测试和评估12中的48个设备 医院一年，并证明消除的可行性 大多数手动患者举重。 在该SBIR赠款的第一阶段，构建和测试了原型 与护理学生。 第二阶段将将测试扩展到全国范围 对医院的取样。 使用设备的工作人员将 接受培训，他们将被要求担任 培训和设备。 确定组件可靠性的数据将 可以获得，产品安全分析将完成。 旷工 将比较由于手动提升而引起的其他统计数据。 独立的 顾问将开发评估工具并分析 结果。
