- Patient Entrance / Exit – Caregiver should always aid patient in exiting the bed. Make sure a capable patient knows how to get out of bed safely (and, if necessary how to release the side rails) in case of fire or other emergency.
- Brakes – Caster brakes should always be locked once the bed is in position. Verify wheels are locked before any patient transfer to or from the bed.
- Bed Height – To minimize risk of falls or injury, the bed should always be in the lowest practical position when patient is unattended.
- Head of Bed Elevation – Keep head of bed as low as possible to help prevent patient migration.
- Bed Frame – Always use a standard healthcare bed frame with safeguards or protocols that may be appropriate. Frame and side rails must be properly sized relative to the mattress to help minimize any gaps that might entrap a patient’s head or body. Check the bed frame labeling or with the manufacturer for dimensions prior to mattress placement.
- Side Rails / Patient Restraints – Whether and how to use side rails or restraints is a decision that should be based on each patient’s needs and should be made by the patient and the patient’s family, physician and caregivers, with facility protocols in mind. Caregivers should assess risks and benefits of side rail / restraint use (including entrapment and patient falls from bed) in conjunction with individual patient needs and should discuss use or non-use with patient and / or family. Consider not only the clinical and other needs of the patient but also risks of fatal or serious injury from falling out of bed and from patient entrapment in or around the side rails, restraints or other accessories. Consult a caregiver and carefully consider the use of bolsters, positioning aids or floor mats, especially with confused, restless or agitated patients. It is recommended that side rails (if used) be locked in the full upright position when the patient is unattended. Make sure a capable patient knows how to get out of bed safely (and, if necessary, how to release the side rails) in case of fire or other emergency. Monitor patients frequently to guard against patient entrapment.
- To help prevent inadvertent bed exits or falls, ensure the distance between the top of side rails (if used) and top of mattress (without compression) is approximately 4.5 inches / 11.4 cm. Consider individual patient size, position (relative to the top of the side rail), and patient condition in assessing fall risk.
- I.V. and Drainage Tubes – I.V. and drainage tubes should always have slack for Alternating Pressure and other patient movements.
- Skin Care – Monitor skin conditions regularly and consider adjunct or alternative therapies for high acuity patients. Give extra attention to skin over any raised side bolster and to any other possible pressure points and locations where moisture or incontinence may occur or collect. Early intervention may be essential to preventing skin breakdown.
- Fluids – Avoid spilling fluids on pump controls. If spills do occur, unplug unit immediately and clean fluid from pump wearing rubber gloves while it is unplugged to avoid any possibility of shock. Once fluid is removed, check operation of components in area of spill.Fluids remaining on controls can cause corrosion, which may cause components to fail or operate erratically, possibly producing potential hazards for patient and staff.
- Avoid Fire Hazards – To minimize risk of fire, connect the bed’s power cord directly into a wall-mounted outlet. Do not use extension cords or multiple outlet strips.
- No Smoking in Bed – Smoking in bed can be dangerous. To avoid the risk of fire, smoking in bed must never be allowed.
- Power Cord – Ensure power cord is kept free from all pinch points and moving parts and is not trapped under casters. Improper handling of the power cord can cause damage to the cord, which may possibly produce risk of fire or electric shock.
- General Protocols – Follow all applicable safety rules and institution protocols concerning patient and caregiver safety.
- Disposal – At the end of useful life, dispose of waste according to local requirements or contact the manufacturer for advice.
- Cancer and Reproductive Harm – www.p65warnings.ca.gov.
- GF Health Products, Inc. specifically disclaims responsibility for any bodily injury or property damage which may occur during any use which does not comply with federal, state or local laws or ordinances.
