For long-term bedridden rehabilitation patients, comfort, safety and autonomy are important factors affecting their physical and mental health. Traditional hospital beds have a single function and cannot meet the diverse needs of patients in daily care, rehabilitation training and personal activities. Modern adjustable beds, especially 3-function beds and 5-function beds, with their multi-angle adjustment and intelligent design, effectively improve the quality of life and nursing efficiency of patients.
3-function hospital beds usually have the following core adjustment functions:
Back lift: The back angle can be adjusted as needed to help patients achieve a semi-recumbent position, effectively relieve breathing difficulties, prevent pressure sores, and improve the comfort of eating and communication.
Leg lift: Leg height adjustment helps promote blood circulation in the lower limbs, prevent varicose veins and edema, and is especially suitable for patients undergoing postoperative rehabilitation or lower limb injuries.
Whole bed lift: The height of the bed is adjustable, which is convenient for nursing staff to operate, reduces the burden of bending over, and is also convenient for patients to get on and off the bed, improving safety.
The 3-function bed has a reasonable structure and practical functions. It is suitable for most inpatient and home rehabilitation environments, taking into account patient comfort and nursing convenience.
In contrast, the 5-function hospital bed adds a more advanced adjustment dimension based on the 5 functions, which is more suitable for patients with severe or long-term bed rest:
Independent adjustment of head and legs: achieve more precise posture control to meet different rehabilitation posture requirements.
Forward/backward tilt of the whole bed (Trendelenburg/anti-Trendelenburg): used for specific clinical care and rehabilitation treatment, such as promoting pulmonary drainage and auxiliary circulation.
Left and right tilt function: convenient for turning over, reducing the occurrence of pressure sores, and improving passive movement efficiency.
Integrated electronic control system: one-button operation and remote control adjustment, convenient for patients to control themselves and improve their sense of participation in life.
The 5-function hospital bed uses technology to assist the rehabilitation process, and has more advantages in comfort, nursing efficiency and rehabilitation intervention. It is especially suitable for patients with limited mobility and long-term care.
Whether it is a 3-function bed or a 5-function bed, their common value lies in:
Reducing the burden of nursing: reducing manpower movement and improving nursing efficiency;
Preventing complications: scientific posture adjustment, effectively reducing the risk of bedsores, lung infections, etc.;
Improving psychological state: patients can adjust their postures independently, enhance independence and self-esteem;
Promoting the rehabilitation process: assisting the recovery of blood circulation, respiratory and digestive system functions through appropriate angles.
Adjustable beds are no longer just medical equipment, but also a part of rehabilitation life. The three-function bed takes practicality as the core to provide basic nursing support for patients; while the five-function bed takes intelligence and multi-dimensional adjustment as the highlight to comprehensively improve the quality of life of patients with severe illness or long-term bedridden. Choosing a suitable bed not only reflects the care for the patient's health, but also brings peace of mind and convenience to the family and caregivers.
