The features of a modern electric hospital bed collectively define its capability to provide advanced, patient centered care. Core to its operation is the electric actuation system, comprising quiet motors that enable smooth, independent adjustment of height, head section, and knee section, often controlled via an intuitive, backlit handset. Advanced positioning features include standard Fowler, Trendelenburg, and reverse Trendelenburg positions, with some models offering a CPR function for rapid flattening. Programmable memory settings allow for the instant recall of preferred positions. Safety is paramount, with features such as retractable, padded side rails, comprehensive locking casters, and integrated bed exit alarm systems. Ergonomics for caregivers are addressed through high low height adjustment and easy to clean surfaces. Additional sophisticated features may include built in patient weighing scales, battery backup for power failure scenarios, compatibility with various therapeutic mattresses, and connectivity options for nurse call systems and electronic medical records. The combination of these features transforms the bed from a passive surface into an active therapeutic tool that enhances patient comfort and independence, improves clinical workflow efficiency, ensures caregiver safety, and supports data driven care, making it an indispensable asset in contemporary healthcare.
