The functional medical children's bed is designed to care for patients-children who, for various reasons, are completely or partially immobilized or are forbidden to move on the recommendation of a doctor. The bed is designed to provide high-quality care for young patients, create the most comfortable conditions for their treatment and rehabilitation.
Bed Selection Guide
For the care of newborns and patients of child and adolescent age, beds of various functionality are used, when choosing which the following points should be taken into account:
- patient's age;
- patient's diagnosis;
- the time spent in the immobilized state;
- the need for parents to be present in the ward;
- dimensions of the ward;
- requirements of state regulatory authorities;
- material possibilities of the clinic.
Classification of children's functional beds
The medical children's bed may differ in the number of movable sections, the way of regulation of positions, additional functions.
The type of bed arrangement and the number of sections is one of the main criteria when choosing. Children's beds can have a bed:
- Cuvette type, with adjustment of the height of the bed and the angle of inclination of the bed. At the same time, the cuvette can be made of both transparent plastic and stainless steel. Such beds are used for the care of newborns, including for their bathing.
- Single-section, without additional adjustments. They are used in therapeutic departments of general restorative treatment.
- Two-piece. The dorsal section is raised with the possibility of adjusting the angle of inclination. The leg section remains stationary. Lifting the spinal section during the waking hours of young patients makes it more convenient to eat, watch TV, and read. In addition, this position of the body has a better effect on the cervical vertebrae.
- Four-section. There is a separate section for each department: spinal, pelvic, femoral and leg. At the same time, 3 sections are movable: dorsal, femoral and leg. The pelvic section is fixed immobile. Such a bed arrangement allows patients to take the most comfortable position. The possibility of changing positions stimulates blood circulation in immobilized patients, prevents the formation of pressure sores, reduces the possibility of congestion in the lungs and other internal organs, reduces the load on the spine.
- Four-section with the possibility of a "Cardiac seat" position. Such beds are able to transform into a "chair" position, which is necessary for some studies and for high-quality rehabilitation of the patient after cardiological operations. Such beds are usually equipped with electric drives.
Bed adjustment method
The control method can be manual (mechanical) and electric:
- Mechanical regulation. It is made using pedals and levers. Levers, as a rule, are located under the foot end of the headboard to save space. These models do not allow the immobilized patient to independently change the position of the bed bed.
- Regulation by means of electric drives. The control of the bed position adjustments is carried out using the control panel, which can be duplicated in several places at once: in the form of a separate control panel or in the form of panels built into the side railings of the bed. Electric models are much more expensive, but the patient gets the opportunity to change the position of the body independently. This is much more convenient and frees the staff from unnecessary hassle.
It is important to understand that both mechanical and electrical control systems are equally reliable. Beds with both types of controls serve equally long.
Additional options
Beds can be equipped with additional side railings or handrails of various types and types. Almost all models of beds can be equipped with patient self-tightening frames, infusion racks, bedside tables and other necessary tent equipment.
