Functions and advantages of electric hospital beds

1. Basic functions of electric hospital beds
The electric hospital bed can easily adjust the height and angle of the mattress and the inclination of the head and foot of the bed through the electric drive device. The adjustment operation of the hospital bed can be completed through the bedside controller or remote control. Nursing staff can flexibly adjust the position of the hospital bed according to the patient's physical condition and treatment needs in order to provide better care.

Electric hospital beds usually have the following adjustment functions:

Height adjustment: The height of the bed from the ground can be adjusted to facilitate patients getting in and out of bed or performing nursing operations.
Back adjustment: The angle of the bed head part is adjustable to support the patient to sit up when lying down, which helps to improve the patient's breathing and blood circulation.
Leg adjustment: The foot of the bed can be raised and lowered to help patients adjust the position of their legs to adapt to various treatment needs.
Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg: This function allows the bed to tilt with the head down and the feet up or down, for certain treatments or patient position adjustments.

2. Advantages of electric hospital beds
Compared with traditional manual hospital beds, electric hospital beds have many significant advantages, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Improved comfort: Electric hospital beds can accurately adjust the angle of the bed according to the patient's physical condition and needs, improving patient comfort. Especially for patients who are bedridden for a long time, electric adjustment can reduce unnecessary pressure and discomfort.

Reduce the burden on nursing staff: Traditional manual hospital bed adjustment requires manual operation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The electric adjustment function of the electric hospital bed can reduce the physical exertion of nursing staff and improve work efficiency. Especially for patients who are heavier or have more complex conditions, electric hospital beds make it easier for caregivers to care for them.

Improve the quality of care: Electric hospital beds provide flexible adjustment functions, allowing caregivers to provide more precise care based on the patient's specific condition. Adjusting the angle of the hospital bed can help patients maintain the correct posture, reduce pressure sores and joint damage caused by long-term bed rest, and improve the patient's respiratory and circulatory system functions.

Safety guarantee: Most electric hospital beds are equipped with anti-tilt devices and braking systems to ensure the safety of patients on the bed. The height adjustment function of the bed can avoid waist injuries when nursing staff carry patients and reduce safety risks at work.

Convenient operation design: Modern electric hospital beds are generally equipped with wireless remote controls or adjustable bedside controls, making them easy to operate for both patients and caregivers. For some patients with limited mobility, the remote control or bedside controller allows them to independently adjust the bed position and improve the quality of life.

3. Scope of application
Electric hospital beds are suitable for various patient groups, including but not limited to the following categories:

Long-term bedridden patients: patients with stroke, spinal cord injury, Alzheimer's disease, etc.
Postoperative patients: For example, patients who have undergone major surgery need to adjust the bed position to help recover.
Intensive care patient: A critically ill patient who requires frequent repositioning to avoid complications.
Elderly care: For elderly people with limited mobility, electric hospital beds provide a more convenient and safer care solution.
