The long awaited and anticipated Total Lift Bed Bariatric is now available in the U.S.
Many of the concerns in patient care that the Total lift bed addressed are magnified when caring for bariatric patients. It's often hard to mobilize a bariatric patient because of their size, weight and multitude of medical complications. However with the TLBB you can begin weight bearing at any stage and progressively enable bariatric patients to weight bear. Once they have reached a desired goal of weight bearing you can then start gait training with the confidence. The current all or nothing weight bearing strategy and guessing of ability is a very scary one when it comes to bariatric patients. Front or side egressing bariatric patients without first knowing their ability can be a scary and costly endeavor that you no longer have to face. You can know help these patients mobilize again in a confident, progressive and safe way.
Many medical conditions that are more heightened in obese patients like respiratory problems, pneumonia, intra-adominal pressure, cardiovascular, psychological, renal, fecal impaction, pressure ulcers can all see improvements when the patient is tilted toward an upright position that is only available in the TLBB. In a recent randomized control study, critically ill patients supported by mechanical ventilation had fewer delirium days, shorter ventilator days, and better functional status at hospital discharge when rehabilitation began early.
