A hospital bed or hospitalcot is a bed 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.
Hospital beds
and other similar types of beds are used not only in hospitals, but in other
health care facilities and settings, such as nursing homes, assisted living facilities, outpatient clinics and in home health care.
While the term
"hospital bed" can refer to the actual bed, the term "bed"
is also used to describe the amount of space in a health care facility, as the capacity
for the number of patients at the facility is measured in available
"beds."
Choosing a Bed
Whether you are adding to or setting up a new homecare experience,
choosing which home-quality hospital bed, homecare bed or adjustable bed is an
important part of the equation. Our home-quality hospital beds range from basic
and economical to more advanced models. Homecare beds are fully powered and
adjustable. Adjustable beds are available in four sizes. The following overview
of what's available can help you make a good choice based on your needs and our
great selection of beds and accessories.
Hospital bed packages include the hospital bed and your choice of mattress and bed
rails. Hospital beds, or homecare beds, come in a variety of styles and
sizes based on their electrical capabilities, size and user weight capacity.
Each hospital bed style comes with your choice of hospital bed mattress and
either half or full length bed rails.

Elevation
Beds can be raised and
lowered at the head, feet, and their entire height. While on older / manual
beds this is done with cranks usually found at the foot of the bed, on modern
beds this feature is electronic (i.e known as semi electric bed or full
electric bed)
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.
Mattresses
No bed is complete without
a mattress. Options are available from foam to luxury inner coil spring models.
Factors in this decision would include how long you plan on using the bed, how
long each day a person will spend the bed and the individual medical needs of the
user.

You also have an option of
overlays & Pressure Relieving Mattresses. These mattresses provide added
health benefits to your bed. Choose from models with air pumped through them,
with adjusting gel pockets, comfortable foam layers or self-adjusting air
pockets to help distribute the weight and reduce the risk of pressure sores.

Side rails
Beds have side rails that
can be raised or lowered. These rails, which serve as protection for the
patient and sometimes can make the patient feel more secure.
 |
| Half Bed Rails |
There are a variety of
different types of side rails to serve different purposes. While some are
simply to prevent patient falls, others have equipment that can aid the patient
him/herself without physically confining the patient to bed.
Wheels
Wheels on the Hospital Bed
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.
