Shock Frame - Ferno Mondial MB64 User Manual

5.7 Shock Frame

In addition to the flat position, the shock frame adjusts to two raised
positions:
Raised shock position (Modified Trendelenburg position, Figure 14)
●
elevates the patient's feet.
Contour shock position (Fowler's position, Figure 16) to elevate the
●
patient's knees higher than the feet.
Follow your local medical protocols when deciding which position to
use. Use an underhand grip (palms up) to support the shock frame while
raising or lowering it. Always work from the control end of the cot. Raising
and lowering from the side can expose your hand to pinch points.
