Precautions
1. The operation is light and stable, coordinated and ensures safety.
2. On the way to the cart, you need to pay attention to:
(1) The patient's head should lie on the end of the large wheel of the flat car (because the number of rotations of the large wheel is small, the bump can be reduced).
(2) The caregiver should stand on the side of the patient's head to facilitate the observation of the patient.
(3) When the flat car goes up and downhill, the patient's head is always at a high place.
(4) When entering and leaving the door, the door should be opened first, and the car should not hit the door.
