SIDERAILS
The siderails are part of the frame. They rotate into position by moving
towards the head and foot of the bed in two stages (intermediate and fully
raised). When the siderails are lowered, the width of the bed is reduced.
When fully raised, the rails ensure patient protection and reduce the risk of
falls.
In the intermediate position, the rails can help a fully mobile patient get in
and out of bed safely and comfortably.
Nursing staff must decide which rail position is best suited to the patient’s
condition. With patients suffering from obsessive behavioural disorders,
for instance, it may be better to leave:
- the head section rails fully raised
- the leg section rails in either an intermediate position or lowered.
The Head Section rails should not be used in intermediate position if the
Head Section is raised by more than 30°.
