hi everybody I'm Amanda an education
department were going to talk about how
to use the hill round bed today so first
before our patient gets on the bed I
want to go over the brake system so down
here at the bottom of the bed you have
green and orange you want to make sure
when you put your brake cover you're
pushing down on your orange that will
stop the bed obviously for moving
windows in the middle absolutely
the neutral is going to allow you to
move your bed sideways back and forth
around tight corners all of those things
however are the most important features
when you go green down here
[Music]
the drive and that's actually at the
bottom of the bed it's going to drop a
wheel down and it's going to help um
insist so that you're not having to push
the bank you can actually drive it with
two fingers on each so here's the
handles on each handle there's a little
button underneath you're going to push
the button and then just push forward
and move the best for you push it and
pull back to the back you have to give
it a second you can't just push the
button and push you have to push the
button and wait and look or slowly drive
the bed for this is important it's a
very expensive mechanism is meant to
help protect your back if you were to
drive you fed the neutral on a carpet it
could injure you so that's why we have
to drive praying you want to make sure
that that noise have stopped each time
before you drive it or before you lock
it in keep it in the position we don't
move while that machine is going alright
so and for our patience with our manager
for FCU and version care and before she
is in the best we're going to zero in
the mint so here I'm going to show you
how to use the weight system you want to
make sure that before you place your
patient in the bed that you're zeroing
the bed with all the materials that will
continue to stay on for example the
pillow the SCB machine the blankets and
any other equipment that will stay on
all the time you want to zero that so
you're getting a true patient weight so
to do that you're going to push and hold
the zero button and it's zeroed so now
our patient can go ahead and get on the
bed
and we want a waiver we'll have that
available to us okay patient go ahead
and get on the bed the other important
thing about zeroing the bed is that if
you want your bed alarm to work properly
it needs to be 0 so it's accurately
sensing weight distribution okay so
we're going to cover that because we're
not going to see her weight we'll take
off a button here
okay so as far as we know she weighs 14
pounds all right so let's go ahead ask
for privacy okay
so now I'm going to talk to you about
some of the functionalities you down
here on the bottom we have up and down
buttons this is nice when you're in a
position where you want to quickly get
your patient up or down but you can't
actually toggle on the armrests
so if you push one it turns it on push
again I'm not doing it right it'll
actually do it without you actually
having to touch the bedrail again down
same thing goes back down same thing
with the height of the bed you can go up
and down the reason I'm putting this up
is if I want to draw your attention to
the no foot sign down there it's bottom
this is because there's a laser that
goes from that area all the way to this
area if you have any IV tubing or
anything it will not allow you to put
the bed down so if your beds not going
down troubleshoot both sides to make
sure your legs your lasers are not
warped this is a little nightlight which
is nice so you can see around the foot
of your bed and so you also know that
your bed is in the locked position when
that is on okay so up here let's talk
about that alarm again like I said you
have to have your patient zeroed so that
you know where they're moving and where
their weight is distributed to so here
you have moving head up out of bed or
getting out of bed and completely out of
bed we never want to use this we want to
know before they're out of that that
they're going that direction so to set
your bed alarm you want to hit lock and
this one now you hear that you know that
it's on so now when my patient tries to
get out of bed let me lower this she
doesn't hurt herself
and please move like you're elderly
patients not healthy go ahead and try to
get out of them all right so she's
getting out of bed let's turn this off
you can hit alarm silence and that gives
you a moment and knows that you're in
the room but it's going to head go ahead
and keep this active so that when she
gets back in bed it will again reset if
you want to turn it off key and the
person and you turned off your bed alarm
so again key turn on wait for your beep
key to turn off and you're off you're
also going to want to make sure that you
push that when you select you have your
volume all the way up to the max volume
one of the benefits of this bed as well
is in the event of an emergency you do
have down here at the bottom a CPR
button this CPR button does not make
your bed hard it just lowers the head of
bed quickly okay so that allows us to
provide CPR to her without waiting for
these lovely buttons to do their job
okay
have lots of things that you can do here
if we have somebody who would say seven
foot tall you can make the bed a little
bit longer by pushing and holding or you
can make the bed a little bit shorter if
they're a little bit shorter of a person
okay again bed up and down head up and
down feet up and down this illuminates
when the bed is not in the lowest
position we can put it in Trendelenburg
or reverse Trendelenburg here we can
give a boost which just puts the head
down so that you actually have an assist
when you're moving your patient up and
then you have the chair position which
is great for patients who can't get out
of bed but can benefit from that
hemodynamic test
so it's actually going to drop four feet
increase your head of bed you can eat in
this position so you can get all the
benefits of that blood flow without
actually having to get out of bed again
that's your chair position okay and then
we can just bring that back down to
where our shoes comfortable put you down
to the neutral bring everything back to
normal
okay you have here as well turn assist
turn left turn right and that's just
really a way to help those heavier
patients when you're turning them or
moving them it will depress one side and
over inflate one side so that you're
moving them left and right as well as
your max inflate for CPR purposes and
then normal to resume normal functioning
out of it and what she'll feel inside
there is different air pockets moving so
that it continually continuously offsets
all the pressure but you still need to
turn and reposition your patient this
bed will not do that for you it's just a
supplement you have to keep your battery
life up so keep this bed plugged in when
you are not using it and when you're
using it only for transfer to a
different area would we unplug it you
can actually see down all the way at the
bottom the battery life here on the
drive is a little bit low on this bed
this would concern me if I'm going to go
away for quite a while I might run out
of battery lights on my drive and it'll
make it more difficult to move my bed I
will only be able to do a neutral
position so if I'd had this plugged in
it would have been all the way up here
naturally where you want it so to open
up your bed rails click and bring it
down for the lower parts of the bed
usually because the mattress is in the
way you have to do a little bit of a
push on it with your hips to get it off
one more thing is that you do have your
degree measure here so you know if you
have your head of bed at 30 degrees or
more you'll have that in this area as
well just as a check the turn assist
here I want to show you what that's
actually going to do it will only work
when you have all four bed rails up
which makes sense you don't want to turn
your patient and have them end up on the
ground so that's the only way it's going
to work latkes turn right if you listen
you can hear the bed change it's going
to start to inflate if you watch drew
side of her body it's going to turn her
more to her right side so this area of
the bed is getting Proctor where this
area is firmer
so now I'm in theory I've already got
returned to one way I would be able to
actually turn her safely in one
direction but just gives you a little
bit Lauren putting very little pressure
and of course you know but you can see
here this bed is really inflated on this
side and very depressed on that side if
I want her to roll back again I just put
it in the neutral or normal position
going to kind of stay on our side and
again if it's returning and rolling up
the patient will go ahead and go left
we'll watch how it slowly depresses on
the left side and slowly increases on
the right side to assist us and turning
her again to the left to do care for our
patient this is not intended to be part
of your every two hours turn and
reposition this is an assist for patient
care so again you can see here this is
very overinflated under and played on
that side and a little bit of switch in
the head and we're good to go
and then again it's going to normalize
for us and suffer back into a neutral
position this is a nice added benefit
for your tubes and lines to help is a
cord Wrangler to make sure that you have
all of your IVs through here and they're
not draping all over your patient system
and of course you're by people with
extra hooks or X you have any questions
call the Education Department we're
always willing to help
