Changes in Patient
When a patient is in the lying or supine position, their body weight
Position
is dispersed over a large area. When in the sitting position, their
body weight is concentrated within a much smaller area and
therefore will require more support than in the lying position.
Therefore, when the patient changes position, it may be
necessary, in order to maximise the benefit of the support
surface, to make adjustments to the setting of the patient weight
selector.
From Lying to Sitting - Increase weight selector setting.
From Sitting to Lying - Decrease weight selector setting.
This adjustment should be in conjunction with independent
clinical determination of appropriate support.
Static
Provides a stable, non-moving support surface for instances
where active therapy is not indicated e.g. to carry out nursing
procedures or for patients unable to tolerate a moving surface. In
Static mode the support surface remains constant (all cells are
equally inflated). Additional nursing assessment must be
undertaken in order to direct an individualised repositioning
programme.
When operating the system in Static mode it may be necessary,
where possible, to reduce the pressure setting to increase patient
comfort and safety.
