What is a Gurney Transport?

Gurney transport is commonly used by hospitals to move patients with limited mobility to their required destinations. Patients stay on a stretcher while lying down or sitting upright, depending on their conditions. The stretcher is carefully and comfortably placed in the vehicle to ensure patient safety. Depending on the patient’s condition, it can be arranged for two or more specialists to accompany the patient to facilitate movement into and out of the vehicle.

Gurney transport is not only for medical needs but also for transporting people with limited mobility to special events such as family meetings, weddings, church services, and funerals.

How Gurney Transport Works

Gurney transport primarily deals with bed-bound individuals who need medical assistance. It requires careful handling, paying attention to every detail of the patient’s condition. Once the state is assessed, the patient is carefully moved from their bed to the gurney using a transfer board and into the vehicle, which has a side auto-locking system to secure the gurney.

When the patient arrives at the hospital, certified gurney professionals roll the gurney into the facility and stay until the patient is transferred to the hospital bed for treatment. If the patient is an outpatient, the gurney specialist stays until the treatment is complete, then moves them back to the gurney for the return trip home.
