For patients
When the patient is in a sitting position, check to see that the patient is
not bottoming out – the pressure setting is inadequate (or too low) – and
the patient is hitting the bed frame.
See the figure at right. If there is an incident of bottoming out, simply
adjust the pressure range a little higher.
HAND CHECK
Slide one hand between the patient’s sacral region and the air mattress
to feel whether the pressure is properly adjusted. The optimal clearance
range is 1” to 1½” (25 to 40 mm).
NOTE
The hand check procedure is recommended by the Agency for Health
Care Policy and Research.
