APPLYING THE RESTRAINTS
Once the patient has been placed on the stretcher and the
head immobiliser has been applied, proceed as follows for
semi-verticalisation.
Proceed with the application of the snap-hook restraints. 4
restraints are recommended:
•
1 chest restraint in transverse configuration (points
9 - 2)
•
2 groin restraints, each locked onto the same PIN
(points 8 - 8 / 3 - 3)
•
1 foot restraint in 8-shaped configuration (points 6 - 5).
Apply the restraints as described in Figure 34.
CHEST RESTRAINT
1. Lock the first snap-hook into hole 2 (right side, operator
view).
2. Pass the restraint under the patient's armpit; in the case
of a female patient, the restraint should pass over the
breast.
3. Hook the second snap-hook to hole 9 on the opposite
side (left side, operator view).
4. Properly adjust the restraints so that there is no particular
constraint to the patient.
GROIN RESTRAINTS

(slightly
Pass the longer end of the restraint between the
patient's legs, making sure that it goes around their left
leg, wrapping it at groin level. Then hook the snap-
hook again to the same pin (hole 3), ensuring that the
quick-release buckle remains in an external position in
relation to the patient.
2. Perform the same operation on the opposite side with
the right leg, locking the restraint into hole 8 (left side,
operator view).
3. Properly adjust the restraints so that there is no particular
constraint to the patient.
FOOT RESTRAINT
1. Lock the first restraint snap-hook into hole 6 on the
foot end.
2. Lock the second restraint snap-hook into hole 5 on the
opposite side.
3. Extend the restraint to form an "8".
4. Cross the restraint and insert the feet inside the loop.

5.
Adjust the belt so that the feet are correctly and firmly
locked.
6.
Once the restraints have been correctly applied and
adjusted, gather any excess length for all of them and
secure them so that they do not interfere with stretcher
operations.

After
completing
procedure, apply the H-shaped Velcro strap, which
stabilises and secures the patient's head. Apply the
H-shaped Velcro strap only after completing the
restraint fastening procedure. The application
of the H-shaped Velcro strap is described in
chapter
"H"-shaped
Important
To improve patient comfort,
insert "crosspieces/padding" at
pressure points.
Important
Only perform the semi-verticalisation manoeuvre
after attending a ScoopEXL stretcher training course.
