Hoisting procedures significantly reduce lung function, especially when using a stretcher. Healthy individuals tolerate this, but caution is advised for patients with severe pulmonary disease.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Physiology
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • A severe asthma attack led to ventilatory arrest during a patient hoisting procedure.
  • This event prompted an investigation into the impact of hoisting techniques on lung function.

Observation:

  • Twelve healthy volunteers underwent testing of their ventilatory capacity.
  • Three common hoisting methods were evaluated: single sling, double sling, and stretcher transport.

Findings:

  • All hoisting techniques significantly reduced vital capacity (VC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) compared to standing.
  • Stretcher transport resulted in a more pronounced reduction in lung function than sling methods.
  • The ratio of FEV1 to VC remained consistent across all tested positions.

Implications:

  • While healthy individuals can generally tolerate the minor decrease in ventilatory capacity during hoisting.
  • These findings highlight the need for careful consideration during hoisting procedures for patients with pre-existing severe lung conditions.
