HOSPITAL BEDS (MOTORISED/AUTOMATIC)

[EIRI/EDPR/3968] J.C.: 2092XL

INTRODUCTION

A hospital bed is a specially designed for hospitalized patients or others in need of

some form of health care. These beds have special features both for the comfort
and well-being of the patient and for the convenience of health care workers.
Common features include adjustable height for the entire bed, the head, and the
feet, adjustable side rails, and electronic buttons to operate both the bed and
other nearby electronic devices.

A motorized bed is a specially designed bed for the patients under the intensive
care unit. ICU beds are generally made of anti-bacterial or anti-microbial
properties (which most hospital equipment are made of), but the ICU bed
manufacturers do make them the way other beds are made.

ICU bed manufacturers in India define the intensive care as “sophisticated

equipment, specialized nurses, and physicians with critical care training.” But
they do not have any specific definition for the ICU beds. Motorized ICU bed
manufacturer in India provides mechanical ventilation, some renal and other
organ support, which lack in normal hospital beds. ICU bed manufacturers also
provide with facilities like system of pressure ulcers prevention, emergency anti-
shock positions, lateral tilting facility, and most of them have a capacity of 250
kilograms. Adjustable hospital beds are made of steel and normally used in
Government Hospitals, Private Hospitals, and Nursing Homes etc.

FEATURES OF MOTORIZED BED

Wheels

Wheels enable easy movement of the bed, either within parts of the facility in
which they are located, or within the room. Sometimes movement of the bed a few
inches to a few feet may be necessary in patient care.

Wheels are lockable. For safety, wheels can be locked when transferring the
patient in or out of the bed.

Elevation

Beds can be raised and lowered at the head, feet, and their entire height. While on
older beds this is done with cranks usually found at the foot of the bed, on
modern beds this feature is electronic.

Today, while a fully electric bed has many features that are electronic, a semi-
electric bed has two motors, one to raise the head, and the other to raise the foot.

Raising the head (known as a Fowler's position) can provide some benefits to the
patient, the staff, or both. The Fowler's position is used for sitting the patient
upright for feeding or certain other activities, or in some patients, can ease
breathing, or may be beneficial to the patient for other reasons.

Raising the feet can help ease movement of the patient toward the headboard and
may also be necessary for certain conditions.

Raising and lowering the height of the bed can help bring the bed to a comfortable
level for the patient to get in and out of bed, or for caregivers to work with the
patient.
