Moving Patients off O.R. table

[CAsunshineRN]

I have been asked to gather information on how other operating rooms manage transfering patients on and off the surgical table. We use a very thin hard plastic with a sheet on it and four people. Any other ideas?

unfortunately we only have the rollers. i have seen the plastic sheet used in icu and think it worked better than the rollers (a lot smoother ride for the pt).

Move a pt by oneself? yikes!!!!!!!
