The specifics of bed rest can vary depending on the underlying condition:
- Pregnancy: For high-risk pregnancies, bed rest may involve restrictions on physical activity to prevent premature labor or other complications. - Cardiovascular Diseases: Patients with heart conditions may require bed rest to reduce the strain on the heart and improve recovery outcomes. - Post-Surgery: After major surgeries, bed rest helps in the healing of surgical wounds and reduces the risk of complications like infections or bleeding.
