How Hospital Beds Are Decreasing Biomechanical Overload for Caregivers

Assisting patient in a homecare setting requires an emphasis on biomechanical, postural, and ergonomic factors in regards to the use of a hospital bed. Studies have shown that electric hospital beds have played a large role in reducing patient effort, force exertion, and other variables that hinder one’s ability to thrive in their environment.

And, electric beds have been greatly appreciated by both caregivers and nurses.

One of the reasons being is that there is a reduction of effort, on the caregiver’s end, when positioning the patient and performing critical subtasks. The hospital bed is designed to be a highly functional medical device that emphasizes worker’s safety and the patient’s quality of care. It has become a necessity in most nursing care facilities and are the primary working tools when it comes to nurse activities.

It’s function and ergonomic properties greatly influence user health and safety as well as protect them from exposing themselves to biomechanical overload. And, nurses show the greatest injury rates among healthcare workers.

So, the less strain one’s body, the more effective one can be.

For example, an electric high low hospital bed allows caregivers and nurses to raise and lower the height of the bed with the push of a button. It also comes installed with a manual hand crank for emergency situations. Much of the patient care comes at the hand of assisting the patient while he or she is in bed. These tasks include: providing hygiene, positioning, clothing, mobilizing, and more. The caregiver is exposed to a high postural demand like flexing, holding, or bending over when tending to the patient. With an efficient bed setup like the Invacare Hi-Low Hospital Bed Set, one can reduce the risk of biomechanical overload and take the necessary preventative measures to minimize injuries to the spine.

Patient safety coincides with caregiver safety.

Now that we’ve gone over the potential dangers that a nurse or caregiver goes through when tending to a patient, you should have a better understanding of how it will be in a homecare setting. A standard bed can only assist a caregiver so much, and is only beneficial to the patient. An electric bed on the other hand, allows for the caregiver to protect him or herself while tending to the patient, and also help the patient with the unique modalities and functionalities that hospital beds possess. It creates a safe environment and setting, promotes decreased occupational overload during basic care activities, and reduces the amount of time it takes for caregivers to perform their duties.
