[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],The tied-hands crawl may be used to drag an unconscious casualty for a short distance. It is particularly useful when you must crawl underneath a low structure, but it is the least desirable because the casualty's head is not supported. Tied-Hands Crawl

Use a triangular bandage, a torn shirt, etc to tie the casualty's hands together and place them around your neck. This way you can move a person much heavier than yourself. Crawling Technique

[object Object],One Person Arm Carry Single rescuer to lift a victim safely by arm carry

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],One Person Pack-Strap Carry This method is better for longer distances to lift a victim safely.

[object Object],[object Object],Fire Fighters Carry This technique is for carrying a victim longer distances. It is very difficult to get the person up to this position from the ground. Getting the victim into position requires a very strong rescuer or an assistant

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],For the conscious victim , this carry allows the victim to swing their leg using the rescuers as a pair of crutches. For the unconscious victim , it is a quick and easy way to move a victim out of immediate danger. Human Crutch/Two Persons Drag

Two Person Carry (by arms & legs) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Chairs Carry This is a good method for carrying victims up and down stairs or through narrow or uneven areas.

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],The ankle pull is the fastest method for moving a victim a short distance over a smooth surface. This is not a preferred method of patient movement. Ankle Pull

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],The shoulder pull is preferred to the ankle pull. It supports the head of the victim. The negative is that it requires the rescuer to bend over at the waist while pulling. Shoulder Pull

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Two Handed Seat This technique is for carrying a victim to the longer distances. This technique can support an unconscious victim

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Four Handed Seat This technique is for carrying conscious and alert victims to moderate distances. The victim must be able to stand unsupported and hold themselves upright during transport.

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Three or more rescuers get on both sides of the victim. The strongest member is on the side with the fewest rescuers. Hammock Carry

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Three Person Carry This technique is for lifting a patient into a bed or stretcher, or for transporting to short distances

Don't try this if you suspect head or spinal injuries or broken limbs. Use a mattress or rug under the person if one is available. Removal Downstairs
