Some common features of an ICU bed include:
- Adjustable height: The bed can be raised or lowered to accommodate the height of medical personnel, making it easier for them to access and treat the patient.
- Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg positions: These positions allow the bed to tilt forward or backward, which can help improve blood flow and respiratory function in critically ill patients.
- Side rails: These can be raised or lowered to prevent the patient from falling off the bed.
- Mattress: The bed is typically equipped with a special mattress that can help prevent bed sores and pressure ulcers.
- Monitoring devices: The bed may be equipped with various monitoring devices, such as EKG machines, blood pressure monitors, and oxygen sensors, to continuously monitor the patient’s vital signs.
- IV poles: These are attached to the bed to allow for the administration of fluids and medications.
