The side rails are designed to prevent patients from falling while asleep or being transported
BUT are not designed to prevent a patient from leaving his or her bed voluntarily. Many accidents happen
when the patient tries to leave his or her bed despite the side rails being in place.
In some cases, the side rails helps to prevent falls, BUT it can pose a hazard: injuries, falling after trapping a
limb in the side rails, suffocation after trapping the head, neck or chest. A risk/benefit assessment should
preferably be carried out of the side rails to decide whether or not to use it.
