A five-function electric hospital bed is a specialized type of hospital bed designed for enhanced patient care and comfort, often used in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and critical care patients.
- Backrest Elevation: Allows raising and lowering the upper body, crucial for patients with respiratory conditions or to facilitate sitting up.
- Knee Rest Elevation: Raises or lowers the legs, beneficial for patients with heart and circulation issues to prevent blood pooling and swelling in the lower limbs.
- Height Adjustment: Enables adjusting the overall height of the bed, facilitating easier patient transfers to and from wheelchairs or other surfaces and providing ergonomic access for caregivers.
- Trendelenburg Position: Tilts the entire bed surface, lowering the head and raising the feet. This position is used in specific medical procedures and for patients with certain conditions like respiratory distress or those undergoing abdominal surgery.
- Reverse Trendelenburg Position: Tilts the bed in the opposite direction, raising the head and lowering the feet. This position can be used for patients with respiratory or cardiac conditions and for certain surgeries.
- Enhanced Patient Care: Offers multiple positioning options for optimal patient comfort and support.
- Improved Safety: Features like ABS head/foot panels and rails enhance patient safety and help prevent falls.
- Ease of Use: Electric motors and remote controls enable effortless adjustment, making it easier for both patients and caregivers.
- Versatility: Accommodates various patient needs and medical procedures, including those requiring specific positioning for respiration or circulation.
- Home Care Suitability: Can be used effectively in home care settings, extending the benefits of hospital-level care to patients recovering at home.
