Q

What are the two types of beds and how do they work?

A
  1. Kinetic: moves M/L, keeps mucus moving in lungs, pt may become dependent on passive motion (disadvantage)
  2. Tilt Table: Retrains orthostatic hypotension pt, legs dep and not moving-> blood pooling (dis)

Q

What 4 complications indicate the need for bed rest?

A
