What is a critical factor in the Chair Carry method?

Team communication
Assessment of the chair's integrity
Patient resistance
Victim weight distribution

The correct answer is: Assessment of the chair's integrity

In the Chair Carry method, assessing the chair's integrity is crucial because it ensures that the equipment being used is safe and able to support both the patient and the rescuers. A chair with structural issues, such as broken or weak components, can collapse during transport, potentially causing injury to the patient or the providers. Ensuring the chair is in good condition helps maintain the stability and safety during the carry, allowing for a more effective transfer of the patient to safety. This factor directly impacts the success of the carry and the overall safety of the situation.
