Bariatric beds enhance patient safety in several ways:
Sturdy construction: The reinforced frames and higher weight capacities ensure that the bed can safely support the patient. Side rails: These beds often come with side rails to prevent falls. Pressure-relief mattresses: These mattresses help in reducing the risk of pressure ulcers, which are common in immobile patients. Adjustability: The ability to adjust bed positions helps in proper patient positioning, reducing the risk of complications like respiratory issues.
