Cot Operations
WARNING
Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient on the cot. An
unrestrained patient may fall from the cot and be injured.
Always secure the patient on the cot with all the restraint straps. Buckle
the restraints across the patient’s chest/shoulders, waist and legs as
shown in Figure 6. Keep the restraint straps buckled when the cot is not
being used with a patient to avoid damage to the buckles and straps.
When attaching the restraint straps to the cot, keep in mind the
attachment points should provide strong anchorage and proper restraint
position while not interfering with equipment and accessories. Wrap
the strap around the cot frame and back through the loop on the end
of the strap as shown in Figures 7 and 8. The arrows indicate alternate
attachment areas.
