摘要:
A patient-support apparatus (10) includes a mattress assembly (14) supported on a frame (12), the mattress assembly (14) including a coverlet (28) configured to provide low-airloss therapy to a patient supported on the patient-support apparatus (10). The patient-support apparatus (10) is articulable to a number of positions and includes a control network (410) which is responsive to movement of portions of the frame (12) to alter operational parameters of the frame (12) and mattress assembly (14).
摘要:
A method for detecting occupant position change on a support surface includes establishing a rate of change of pressure in a head end test zone and in a foot end test zone, comparing the head end rate to at least one head end rate limit, comparing the foot end rate to at least one foot end rate limit, and inferring, in response to the comparing steps, whether or not occupant migration has occurred. An associated occupant support includes a frame and a mattress. The mattress includes head and foot zones each having at least one pressurizable bladder. The support also includes a controller adapted to compare a head end pressure change to a head end change limit, to compare a foot end pressure change to a foot end change limit, and to infer, in response to the comparing steps, whether or not occupant migration has occurred.
摘要:
A system to determine usage and monitor compliance of a Sequential Compression Therapy (SCT) device is disclosed. The system is configured to track the duration, amplitude and frequency of application of sequential compression therapy and communicate this information over a communication network. The system further includes sensing capability incorporated in the compression sleeve to monitor physiological signals. The system is configured to trigger an alarm if either the duration of the sequential compression therapy or the physiological signal does not meet a predetermined threshold.

This disclosure describes certain exemplary embodiments of a patient support having a plurality of vertically-oriented on substantially can-shaped inflatable bladders. In one embodiment, the patient support includes a support layer positioned above the vertical bladders. In another embodiment, the patient support includes a high air loss device. In still another embodiment, the patient support includes a pneumatic device located within the patient support.
