Hospital Semi Fowler Bed

Hospital Semi Fowler Beds are designed ergonomically. These are four section perforated beds commonly used for back rest or knee rest. These beds are operated with the use of motor or cranks or motors and carry central or personal braking system. The highlight of hospital semi fowler beds are that they are developed in such fashion to lift or collapsible side rails to ensure patients’ comfort and safety. In such beds, stainless steel is used for the head and foot panels and they are very strong. Of the three major types of medical beds such as manual, semi-electric and full electric, the semi fowler beds are more specialized and comfortable. In all such beds, hand cranks are used to lift and lower the head and the foot of the bed in addition to adjusting the height as well.

Hospital is the institution of health treatment and care for patients, some of who are serious enough to be kept in ICU, or general wards, and these patients are allotted beds for rest and recuperation. Beds in hospitals are manufactured with a view to provide comfort to the patients. Many patients are not supposed to move on their own, or it would be serious to move their body, and for such patients hospital semi fowler beds are the perfect resting place. 

Hospital Semi Fowler Beds are specially designed for the overall comfortable movement or rest for the patients. In such beds, the fowler's position is crucial by which patients are placed and the head-side of the bed needs to be elevated as per the requirement. Hence, the upper half of the patients’ body lies between 60 to 90 degrees in proportion to the lower half of their body. The elevation and levelling are performed by nurses to provide resting comfort to the patients.

Hospital semi fowler bed is mechanically operated by crank mechanism. It is removable and interchangeable and has plastic head and foot panels. It contains side railings, epoxy coated mild steel frame work and two section perforated top. Moreover, it keeps noiseless castors and it carries provision for IV rod on both sides of the bed.

The fowler’s position is used for offering comfort to surgeries related to head, chest, and shoulder. There is standard fowler's position, which is the position for patients with respiratory distress syndrome, neurosurgery and shoulder surgery. This positioning of the bed helps allow for better chest expansion and make breathing easy.

The normal elevation of semi fowler is between 30 to 45 degrees. However, in high fowler beds, patient’s sitting position is almost vertical. In both positioning, fowler position is useful for the body.

In the semi fowler's position, the diaphragm moves downward because of which breathing decreases while lung volume and ventilation increases. Moreover, it helps in lung dilatation and this physical positioning helps improve oxygenation or oxygen saturation. 

A semi-upright position like 45° position among ventilated patients is fine to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). This is the first step in having early mobility.
