Medical bed with device for retaining patient
Disclosed is a medical bed comprising: a bed plate on which a patient is laid in a desired posture; and a device for retaining the patient in the desired posture in such a manner that the patient is prevented from moving along the medical beds plate. The retaining device comprises: a plurality of elongated members for blocking motion of the patient along the bed plate; and a plurality of recessed of the bed plate or suction pad equipped to each elongated member for adjustably fitting the elongated members to the bed plate to adapt the elongated members for the desired posture of the patient.
When a doctor or some other medical practitioner treats a patient, especially in the case of treating an infant patient, it is sometimes necessary for safety of the patient to retain the patient in a specific posture on a emergency stretcher. For example, in the case of sampling cerebrospinal fluid from a patient for diagnostic analysis, the patient must be kept in a sidefacing position. However, in such a case if the patient is an infant, it often hates to keep still on the bed, and it wants to move around. As a result, two or more nurses must hold the infant patient in a fixed posture on the bed during treatment.
In the present facial bed, it is possible to construct the recesses as straight or curved grooves, instead of the cylindrical holes described above, in such a manner that the elongated members can slide therealong.
Moreover, it is also possible to arrange the hospital bed so that the bed plate can be inclined relative to the bedstead at a desired angle.
In addition, the bedstead may, of course, include a head frame, a foot frame and other accessories.
In the above embodiments, the bed and the retaining device is used for medical treatment.
However, it is, of course, possible to utilize the present invention at home for nursing a baby, caring for elderly people, and the like.
It must be understood that the medical beds is in no way limited to the above embodiments and that many changes may be brought about therein without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
