Demonstration of transferring a patient in the supine position using the direct carry method.

Explain, briefly, how to perform (a) a direct ground lift, (b) an extremity lift, (c) a direct carry, and (d) the draw sheet method. a) Direct ground lift: two or three rescuers should line up, kneeling on one knee, on the same side of the patient.

Direct Carry. Position the stretcher at a right angle to the patient's bed with the head end of the stretcher at the foot of the bed.
