In the ICU, patients often face critical conditions and need to remain bedridden for extended periods. Traditional hospital beds can cause significant pressure on the abdomen when patients transition from lying flat to sitting up, leading to pain and discomfort. However, the seven-function electric hospital bed with the backrest reclining feature acts as a thoughtful guardian, specially designed to solve this issue. With electric control, the bed’s backrest can be smoothly adjusted to an optimal angle, typically between 0°-75°, relieving abdominal pressure and enhancing comfort.
Multiple Benefits of the Backrest Reclining Feature
1. Reducing Abdominal Pressure, Enhancing Comfort
The backrest reclining feature automatically shifts the backboard backward as it rises, effectively reducing pressure on the abdomen. This is particularly important for patients transitioning from lying down to a sitting position, significantly alleviating abdominal discomfort and preventing pain caused by excessive pressure. Additionally, it creates more space between the pelvis and abdominal cavity, reducing organ compression and friction between the skin and mattress, ensuring more comfort during position changes.
2. Preventing Bedsores and Promoting Recovery
Up to 40% of bedsores occur in the sensitive pelvic region. By increasing the space between the pelvis and abdomen, the backrest reclining feature effectively reduces the risk of pressure ulcers. More importantly, it helps improve blood circulation, reducing swelling, venous thrombosis, and other complications, promoting faster recovery.
3. Improving Nursing Efficiency, Reducing Caregiver Workload
The backrest reclining feature not only makes patient position adjustments more convenient but also significantly boosts nursing efficiency. Caregivers no longer need to perform cumbersome manual adjustments, which reduces patient discomfort caused by improper positioning, while also easing the physical strain on nursing staff, ensuring safer care.
4. Enhancing Patient Autonomy, Improving Quality of Life
The backrest reclining feature makes position changes more comfortable for patients, increasing their satisfaction and quality of life. By reducing abdominal pressure and improving blood circulation, it aids in the recovery process, potentially shortening hospitalization time.
5. Optimizing Medical Resource Utilization, Reducing Healthcare Costs
By reducing complications caused by improper positioning, the backrest reclining feature helps shorten patient stays, ultimately lowering healthcare costs. Furthermore, due to its intelligent design, the bed reduces the time caregivers spend adjusting patient positions, allowing more time and energy to be dedicated to other aspects of patient care, improving the efficiency of healthcare resource utilization.
