Where Should Bed Rails Be Used?
There are a number of environments in which bed side rails should be used:
- Care Homes, for prevention of falls for older people
- Residential Spaces, for comfort and safety of people vulnerable to injuries at night
- Hospitals, for people with health concerns putting them at higher risk of bed injuries
- Medical Spaces, for people after surgery or injury where their balance might be compromised
- At Home! For people needing extra mobility and safety support
Benefits of Bed Rails
Bed rails are helpful for a variety of reasons. Some examples of these include:
Mobility
Bed rails help patients to get in and out of bed easily, since they allow for adequate grip by patients who might have otherwise compromised hand strength. In addition, these rails also help patients to move themselves in the night, if they want to to roll over to sleep on their side.
Security
Bed rails help reduce the likelihood of falls out of bed by securing the patient within their bed space. This also helps to reduce patients knocking over nearby devices, such as glasses of water or other hazards.
Comfort
Bed rails help patient comfort through increased mobility and safety.
Carer Convenience
Bed rails help to make lives easier for carers for manoeuvering patients easily. Moreover, side rails can be used to attach devices onto them for improved patient treatment and rehabilitation.
Who Else Can Benefit From Using Bed Side Rails?
Anyone needing additional safety and support at night should use bed rails. Specific examples include:
How Can Bed Rails Benefit Mental Health Patients?
Mental health issues can impact people in so many ways, particularly at night when people are not conscious. This can compromise their health by increasing the likelihood of falls. The below mental health conditions put someone at significantly greater risk of falls, making bed rails a great option:
- Confusion
- Psychosis
- Delirium
- Depression
- Schizophrenia
What Neurological Disorders Necessitate Bed Rails?
Neurological issues effect the nervous system, creating a disconnect between the brain and body. As a result, this often compromises mobility, increasing likelihood of falls in patients suffering from:
- Cerebral Palsy
- Parkinson's Disease
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Epilepsy
Which Physical Health Conditions Require Bed Rails?
The most obvious conditions needing side rails are all physical. If you or someone you care for has the below physical conditions, they are significantly more at risk of falling due to weakened balance and general bodily control:
- Broken bones
- Torn ligaments
- Anaemia
- Arrhythmia
- Head injury
What General Health Concerns Need Bed Rails?
There are a number of general health concerns and conditions that increase likelihood of bed falls. These include:
