Exactly what we do. I've also found a way, if you're unable to get a worker to help you, take both seat belts on the bottom part of the gurney, and tension them up under the wheels in the direction you don't want the gurney to go, and it works as wheel chocks in a way, and the texture on the seat belts actually works really good on gripping the floor. Or just find a nurse to hold the bottom of the gurney. Tell them to just push!

If they have a sheet under them, use a fore and aft lift style using the sheet and stay at the top.
