Precautions for using two-function electric medical bed

The two-function electric medical bed mainly has the electric adjustment function of the head and foot of the bed. It is often used in hospitals, nursing homes, home care and other places. It can provide patients with a comfortable bed environment and is easy for nursing staff to operate. When using a two-function electric medical bed, special attention should be paid to the following matters:

1. Inspection before use

Power supply check: Make sure that the electric medical bed is correctly connected to the power supply and the voltage meets the requirements. Check whether the power socket, power cord and plug are intact to ensure that there is no damage or short circuit.

Bed stability: Check whether the bed frame is stable, whether the connecting parts are tight, and whether the bed wheels can rotate normally. Avoid shaking the bed due to looseness or instability.

Electric control system: Check whether the electric adjustment function of the head and foot of the bed is flexible and smooth, whether the hand controller works normally, and ensure that the electric system can operate safely and stably.

2. Operation and use

Correct operation of electric adjustment: When operating the head and foot of the bed, the hand controller or remote control should be used correctly according to the instructions or operating guide to avoid overload or frequent adjustment. During operation, ensure that the bed is stable, avoid sudden lifting and lowering movements, and prevent injury to the patient.

Bed head adjustment: used when the patient needs to lift the upper body. The bed head angle should be adjusted reasonably according to the patient's comfort and medical needs, and it is generally recommended not to exceed 45 degrees.

Bed foot adjustment: used to adjust the leg height, suitable for patients who need to raise their lower limbs. Avoid excessive tilting during adjustment to avoid affecting the patient's comfort or blood circulation.

3. Safety precautions

Anti-pinching: When operating an electric medical bed, special attention should be paid to avoid pinching the patient's hands, feet and other parts. The adjustment action of the electric bed should be slow and smooth to ensure that the patient will not be oppressed or accidentally injured.

Weight limit: Each electric medical bed has a certain load-bearing standard to avoid overloading. For example, the bed should not carry patients or items that exceed the designed load to avoid damage to the electric system or bed frame structure.

Avoid operation by children or unrelated personnel: Electric medical beds should be avoided by children or untrained personnel to prevent injuries or equipment failures caused by misoperation.

4. Bed surface and mattress

Mattress selection: Choose a mattress suitable for the patient's weight and condition. Especially for patients who are bedridden for a long time, you can choose an anti-bedsore mattress to reduce the risk of bedsores.

Bed surface cleaning: Keep the bed surface clean and wipe the head, foot and bed surface regularly. Avoid using corrosive or irritating detergents. Mild detergents are recommended.

Mattress replacement and maintenance: The mattress needs to be checked regularly for damage or deformation. If it affects the use effect, it should be replaced in time.

5. Electric system maintenance

Regularly check the electric system: The electric adjustment system of the electric medical bed needs to be checked regularly to ensure that the motor, circuit, controller and other components are not damaged or aged. If the electric adjustment is not smooth, it should be repaired in time.

Avoid overloading the electric system: Frequent or excessive adjustment of the bed position will aggravate the wear of the electric system. It should be operated moderately to avoid causing electric system failure.

6. Use and maintenance of bed wheels

Ensure that the bed wheels are fixed and flexible: If the bed is equipped with bed wheels, ensure that the bed wheels can rotate normally and can be locked during use to prevent unnecessary movement of the bed. Check the flexibility of the bed wheels regularly to avoid jamming.

Bed wheel cleaning: Keep the bed wheels clean and clean the dust and dirt on the bed wheels regularly to ensure their normal use.

7. Battery and power management

Backup power supply: If the bed is equipped with batteries, the battery power should be checked regularly to ensure that the battery will not malfunction due to insufficient power during use. When not in use for a long time, the battery should be properly stored and charged regularly.

Emergency shutdown: If the electric medical bed fails or has an abnormal situation, the emergency stop button should be used in time or the power should be cut off to avoid continued use of the equipment to prevent further damage or safety hazards.

8. Patient comfort and care

Patient position adjustment: Patients who are bedridden for a long time need to adjust their position regularly to prevent bedsores or improve blood circulation. Through the function of the electric adjustment bed, the angles of the head and foot of the bed can be reasonably adjusted according to the patient's condition.

Patient comfort: When adjusting the bed position, pay attention to the patient's reaction at any time to ensure that the patient is in a comfortable posture to avoid patient discomfort due to improper adjustment.

9. Emergency treatment

Emergency treatment of bed failure: If the electric medical bed fails during use，  the emergency stop button should be pressed immediately or the power should be cut off, and professional maintenance personnel should be contacted for inspection and repair.

Emergency treatment during power outage: During a power outage or power interruption, if the bed cannot be adjusted normally, the patient's posture should be kept stable as much as possible, and manual adjustment (if the bed has a manual adjustment function) can be used to relieve the patient's discomfort.

Two-function electric medical beds can provide patients with better comfort and nursing convenience. It is very important to use and maintain two-function electric medical beds correctly. Pay attention to patient safety, avoid pinching, avoid overload, and regularly check the condition of components such as the electric system, bed body and bed wheels to ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment. At the same time, nursing staff should adjust the bed according to the actual needs of the patient to ensure the comfort and safety of the patient.
