Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg
The Advanta™ Bed can be placed into a maximum of 11° Trendelenburg or
Reverse Trendelenburg positions by utilizing the switches on the footboard
control panel. The Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg features can be
activated at any bed height, and the bed will adjust its height if necessary.
The Trendelenburg angle indicator, located on the footboard control panel,
displays the amount of Trendelenburg or Reverse Trendelenburg in degrees
and inches.
If the head or knee sections are articulated, they will automatically return to the
flat position when the Trendelenburg or Reverse Trendelenburg functions are
activated.
To return the bed to the flat position from the Trendelenburg or Reverse
Trendelenburg positions, activate either the bed up or the bed down switch.
Chair Position
The Advanta™ Bed can be placed in a recliner chair position by utilizing the
chair in switch on the footboard control panel. When activated, the chair
position function simultaneously puts the bed into the low hilow position, and
raises the head up function in the automatic contour mode (raising the knee
section also). After this is achieved, the Reverse Trendelenburg function is
activated to complete the chair position of the bed.
For large patients or patients at risk for skin breakdown due to pressure
ulceration, briefly activating the chair out switch after achieving the chair
position will tilt the bed back some more.
CPR Release
The CPR Release enables the caregiver to save valuable time in an emergency.
When activated, the CPR Release quickly lowers the head section of the bed to
the flat position, enabling emergency procedures to be performed without
unnecessary loss of time. After the head section is down, the knee section also
comes down to the flat position. On beds equipped with an integrated air
surface, the auto firm function engages automatically when the CPR Release is
activated. This provides a firm surface that supports a CPR board.
If electrical power is lost, the auto firm function does not engage; the air
mattress maintains the same level of air pressure that it had at the time of
power loss. CPR board effectiveness could be reduced in this circumstance.
