In ICUs, electric hospital beds are vital medical devices, integrating advanced features to enhance patient care, safety, and caregiver efficiency.
Advanced Adjustment Systems
Powered by high-precision motors, these beds allow independent adjustment of the head (0–85°), knee (0–45°), and height (15–30°). This enables crucial positions like Trendelenburg for shock management and reverse Trendelenburg for respiratory support. Customizable presets save time, tailoring positions to individual patients, and synchronized movements prevent pressure ulcers by maintaining natural body alignment.
Robust Safety Features
Automatic side rails move with the bed, and obstacle sensors halt their movement to prevent entrapment. Load cells continuously monitor patient weight and position, triggering alarms for sudden shifts that signal distress or fall risks. Emergency UPS systems ensure full functionality during power outages, with memory functions restoring the last-used position.
Infection Control Measures
Constructed with antimicrobial materials like silver-ion or copper-based coatings, beds inhibit pathogen growth. Non-porous, seamless surfaces resist stains and withstand aggressive disinfectants. Removable components such as mattress platforms and rail covers can be easily cleaned and sterilized, while smooth edges prevent dirt accumulation, reducing HAI risks.
Technological Integration
These beds serve as a hub for medical devices, with adjustable mounts and quick-release mechanisms for ventilators, monitors, and infusion pumps. Digital connectivity allows integration with HIS and EHRs, enabling remote control of bed settings and automatic documentation of patient positioning, streamlining workflows and reducing errors.
