Does anyone have any opinions on the use of bariatric cots in type II ambulances? I'd appreciate the perspective of some other EMTs on the safety of this practice for both the crew and the patient. How many of you have been asked/told by employers that you had to transport a bariatric patient on a bariatric cot in a type II ambulance? How many of you have then had to go on and do runs for normal sized patients with this configuration? What do you think of it?
I'm looking for a healthy debate on the matter. I don't have a deliberate goal. I just want to see what the general consensus is.
