WARNING
It should be borne in mind that the bent lower
limb, at the level of the thigh, tends to be larger
in circumference than with the limb extended.
Therefore, once the thigh straps have been
correctly applied, make sure that the board has
been applied in such a way as to support the
entire spine up to the base of the coccyx and
that the restraints are well tensioned so that
the patient remains in the correct position on
the XT board before proceeding with lifting and
verticalisation.
Before proceeding with the vertical rescue of the
patient, it is necessary to ensure that the groin
restraints are correctly tensioned.
To do this, you need to start by bringing the patient to
the recovery line, without lifting him/her completely o
the ground, then keeping him/her in a “sitting” position.
At this point, re-tension the groin restraints, making
sure that, while proceeding with the verticalisation,
the board remains in the correct position to support
the entire spine up to the base of the coccyx, with
the patient's head always aligned with the QHI of the
board.
