    Lifting and moving patients safely requires proper body mechanics like keeping weight close and using legs rather than back. Emergency moves like power lifting are for immediate dangers and include dragging a patient by their shirt or blanket. Non-emergency moves involve directly lifting from the ground or extremities using equipment like standard stretchers, pole stretchers, basket stretchers or back boards when time allows.
