Design and application of a novel surgical transfer sheet: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the safety of an innovative surgical transfer sheet, already designed to integrate "safety, comfort, convenience, and cost-effectiveness," and to quantify its impact on staff workload. The assessment was performed via a randomized controlled trial to generate evidence for improved postoperative transfer practices.

Methods

An experimental design was applied for this study. This study included 124 postoperative surgical patients transfer events from a Shanghai tertiary hospital between November 2023 and February 2024. Participants included both the patients and the clinical staff involved in the transfer evaluations. The patients were randomly allocated via random number table to experimental (n = 62) and control (n = 62) groups. The experimental group ut
