Description
Semi-Fowler beds are used in hospitals and care facilities to provide patients with a comfortable and adjustable sleeping position. They have many uses, including:Â
-
Patient comfortSemi-Fowler beds allow patients to find a comfortable position for sleeping or resting. The adjustable backrest and leg sections can help patients find the most comfortable position for their needs.Â
-
Respiratory supportThe elevated upper body position of a semi-Fowler bed can help patients with respiratory issues breathe more easily. This can be particularly beneficial for patients with asthma, pneumonia, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Â
-
Pressure ulcer preventionThe ability to regularly adjust the patient’s position can help redistribute pressure and prevent bedsores.Â
-
Post-surgery recoveryThe bed’s positioning can be adjusted to help patients recover after surgery, especially for procedures that require specific bed positioning.Â
-
Ease of caregivingThe bed’s position can be adjusted easily, which can reduce the physical strain on caregivers and make caregiving tasks like feeding and medication administration easier.Â
-
MobilitySemi-Fowler beds can be easily moved around the hospital or care facility. Some models have locking wheels to keep the bed stable.Â
The ideal bed position angle for a semi-Fowler bed is between 45 degrees and 60 degrees.
