Kinetic bed

Definition

A mains electricity (AC-powered) bed designed to enable continuous change of the patient's lying position, e.g., it can tilt the entire bed mattress support system (this includes the mattress, the framework that supports the mattress, and the bedding) lengthways, sideways or to a near vertical tilt; the patient will be secured in such extreme position. The bed is used for the treatment of critically ill patients who are immobilized, often during ventilator treatment, in order to prevent oedema, improve circulation, and prevent bedsores; it is also used for patients with severe back problems. It may have an integrated weighing scale.
