Importance Of Low-Height Hospital Beds

Chances of injury due to patients falling from a hospital bed are significantly high in any hospital. Further, the treatment charges and the prolonged stay in the hospital of the falling patients add to the hospital's expenses. So it is evident that having a low height of the bed will reduce the chances of injury to the patient. 

 

The general rule of any ICU bed should be that it should be as low as possible. Accessibility of the bed also increases due to the minimum height of the bed. In India, the average height of the female patient is 5.2 feet (1.5m); having a low height bed will serve as an advantage for easy accessibility. In addition, this will reduce any additional strain on the body while getting up from the bed. 

 


The patient in ICU will not be in his complete senses and does not have control over his body. They might get rowdy sometimes in a deep sleep. So the height of any hospital bed should be lower. The ideal height of an ICU bed should be 350mm(13 inches). It dramatically reduces the chances of injury.

Having a bed that is too high, especially if the patient is older, can put unnecessary strain on their body and create joint pain. So having a low height of 350mm will help the patient get an easy grip on the ground and then raise the bed using an assistive lift in the ICU bed.

Here is a rundown of the best hospital beds available with a minimum height in India, provided by renowned medical furniture manufacturers.
