Do you wake up at night with a painful burning sensation in your throat? Do you find yourself suffering from an unexplained hoarseness, dry cough or sore throat during the day? Do you have trouble swallowing food? These are all signs that you might be suffering from acid reflux or a hiatal hernia. These symptoms occur because acid from the stomach backs up into the esophagus.

If you’re sleeping on an angle, gravity helps keep food in the stomach. Conversely, if you lose the gravity, as you do when you’re lying flat, you’re more prone to reflux. An adjustable bed makes it much easier to find a therapeutic position that may help you find temporary relief from your symptoms. Lower back pain relief is one of the most common search terms for a reason. According to the American Chiropractic Association half of all American’s admit to having back pain symptoms each year and back pain is the most common reason for people to miss work. Most cases of back pain are not caused by a serious medical condition but are the result of a mechanical or non-organic issue. Trying to find sleep when your back is aching can be difficult. Adjusting the head or foot of an adjustable bed can help you find a position that may help to temporarily relieve your low back pain symptoms.
Additionally, an adjustable bed can help you get in and out of bed easier when your back is hurting. Raising the head of the bed to its full height lets the bed do all of the work to gently get you to a full sitting position. Once upright you only have to swing your legs to the side to get out of bed. The sequence can be reversed for an easier entry into bed.

PDF Printer Version(65 KB)Bed Rail Entrapment StatisticsToday there are about 2.5 million hospital and nursing home beds in use in the United States. Between 1985 and January 1, 2009, 803 incidents of patients* caught, trapped, entangled, or strangled in beds with rails were reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Of these reports, 480 people died, 138 had a nonfatal injury, and 185 were not injured because staff intervened. Most patients were frail, elderly or confused.* In this brochure, the term patient refers to a resident of a nursing home, any individual receiving services in a home care setting, or patients in hospitals.Patient SafetyPatients who have problems with memory, sleeping, incontinence, pain, uncontrolled body movement, or who get out of bed and walk unsafely without assistance, must be carefully assessed for the best ways to keep them from harm, such as falling. Assessment by the patient’s health care team will help to determine how best to keep the patient safe.
Historically, physical restraints (such as vests, ankle or wrist restraints) were used to try to keep patients safe in health care facilities. In recent years, the health care community has recognized that physically restraining patients can be dangerous. Although not indicated for this use, bed rails are sometimes used as restraints. Regulatory agencies, health care organizations, product manufacturers and advocacy groups encourage hospitals, nursing homes and home care providers to assess patients’ needs and to provide safe care without restraints.The Benefits and Risks of Bed RailsPotential benefits of bed rails include:Aiding in turning and repositioning within the bed.Providing a hand-hold for getting into or out of bed.Providing a feeling of comfort and security.Reducing the risk of patients falling out of bed when being transported.Providing easy access to bed controls and personal care items.Potential risks of bed rails may include:Strangling, suffocating, bodily injury or death when patients or part of their body are caught between rails or between the bed rails and mattress.
More serious injuries from falls when patients climb over rails.Skin bruising, cuts, and scrapes.Inducing agitated behavior when bed rails are used as a restraint.Feeling isolated or unnecessarily restricted.Preventing patients, who are able to get out of bed, from performing routine activities such as going to the bathroom or retrieving something from a closet.Meeting Patients' Needs for SafetyMost patients can be in bed safely without bed rails. Consider the following:Use beds that can be raised and lowered close to the floor to accommodate both patient and health care worker needs.Keep the bed in the lowest position with wheels locked.When the patient is at risk of falling out of bed, place mats next to the bed, as long as this does not create a greater risk of accident.Use transfer or mobility aids.Anticipate the reasons patients get out of bed such as hunger, thirst, going to the bathroom, restlessness and pain; meet these needs by offering food and fluids, scheduling ample toileting, and providing calming interventions and pain relief.
When bed rails are used, perform an on-going assessment of the patient’s physical and mental status; closely monitor high-risk patients. Consider the following:Lower one or more sections of the bed rail, such as the foot rail.Use a proper size mattress or mattress with raised foam edges to prevent patients from being trapped between the mattress and rail.Reduce the gaps between the mattress and side rails.Which Ways of Reducing Risks are Best?A process that requires ongoing patient evaluation and monitoring will result in optimizing bed safety. Many patients go through a period of adjustment to become comfortable with new options. Patients and their families should talk to their health care planning team to find out which options are best for them.Patient or Family Concerns About Bed Rail UseIf patients or family ask about using bed rails, health care providers should:Encourage patients or family to talk to their health care planning team to determine whether or not bed rails are indicated.
Reassure patients and their families that in many cases the patient can sleep safely without bed rails.Reassess the need for using bed rails on a frequent, regular basis.To report an adverse event or medical device problem, please call FDA’s MedWatch Reporting Program at 1-800-FDA-1088.For additional copies of this brochure, see the FDA’s Hospital Bed website.She has volunteered to answer questions.For information regarding a specific hospital bed, contact the bed manufacturer directly.Developed by the Hospital Bed Safety WorkgroupParticipating Organizations:AARPABA Tort and Insurance Practice SectionAmerican Association of Homes and Services for the AgingAmerican Health Care AssociationAmerican Medical Directors AssociationAmerican Nurses AssociationAmerican Society for Healthcare Engineering of the American Hospital AssociationAmerican Society for Healthcare Risk ManagementBasic American Metal ProductsBeverly Enterprises, Inc.Care Providers of MinnesotaCarroll HealthcareDePaul College of LawECRIEvangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan SocietyHill-Rom Co.
