Proper use of manual beds is essential to ensure patient safety, improve nursing efficiency, and prevent occupational injuries for caregivers. This article will provide a comprehensive set of safety guidelines covering bed operation, patient transfer, and daily maintenance, aiming to help caregivers and home users maximize the effectiveness of manual beds while reducing potential risks.


Operation Tips and Precautions

Smooth Adjustment: When adjusting the backboard or leg lift, the movement should be slow and smooth, and sudden and large movements should be avoided to avoid discomfort to the patient.

Locking Mechanism: When using the bed, make sure all locking mechanisms are in place, including bed wheel locks, to prevent the bed from sliding when adjusting or moving the patient.

Safe Steps for Patient Transfer

Use of Assistive Tools: When transferring patients, use slides, slings, or other assistive tools to reduce direct lifting and avoid back injuries to caregivers.

Teamwork: For patients with heavy weight or limited mobility, two or more caregivers should work together to ensure a safe and smooth transfer of the patient to the bed or wheelchair.

Daily inspection and maintenance

Regular inspection: Before daily use, check the structural integrity of the bed, including the bed surface, bed rails and adjustment mechanism, to confirm that there is no damage or wear.

Cleaning and disinfection: Follow the aforementioned cleaning process and disinfection methods to keep the bed clean and reduce the risk of infection.
