A GUIDE FOR MODIFYING BED SYSTEMS AND USING ACCESSORIES TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ENTRAPMENT
1Introduction Entrapment is defined as an event in which a patient is caught, trapped or entangled in the spaces in or about the bed rail, mattress or hospital bed frame. Entrapment can result in serious injury or death. Solving the problem of patient chest, head or neck entrapment between bed frames, bed rails and mattresses is complex and should include conformance with the dimensional criteria for bed systems, quality improvement efforts, and patient, staff and family education. The purpose of this document is to assist in the reduction of risk for entrapment in existing (or “legacy”) hospital bed systems. A bed system is defined as a bed frame, mattress, bed rails, as well as other accessories that are compatible with each other.
This document is targeted for individuals in hospitals, nursing homes, home health, health care organizations, distributors of medical equipment and others who are responsible for implementing hospital bed safety programs. It focuses on modifying bed systems and using add-on or replacement equipment and accessories to reduce the openings in existing bed systems that can cause entrapment. Any modification is intended to be used in conjunction with a clinical patient assessment prior to an intervention. This document is intended to be a companion to the “Clinical Guidance for the Assessment and Implementation of Bed Rails in Hospitals, Long Term Care Facilities and Home Care Settings Clinical Guidance” (HBSW, 2003) which provides a uniform set of recommendations for caregivers in hospitals, long term care facilities and home care settings to use when assessing their patients’ need for, and possible use of, bed rails. The document is also a companion to the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA)“Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment” (FDA, 2006) which provides dimensional limits and test methods for measuring gaps in hospital beds. The guide that follows is intended to assist caregivers in making decisions about the care for their patients. Its components are not intended to serve as clinical standards or requirements for care. They are not intended to serve as applicable federal, state or local regulations or guidelines governing care in respective settings. Likewise the recommendations should not be interpreted as the best or only options, professional standards of care, or legal protection for the users. The Mitigation Guide, along with Clinical Guidance and FDA guidance can be used as part of a facility’s bed safety program for beds in all healthcare settings. The HBSW recognizes that a hospital bed system that is initially or primarily intended for a particular care setting may be modified or moved to other care settings as part of routine equipment replacement. Therefore when evaluating the bed for patient entrapment within a risk management framework, manufacturers, suppliers and caregivers need to consider the diversity of healthcare settings recognizing the potential for the care setting or intended use of the bed to change over time. For a complete discussion of exempt products refer to pages 8-9 of the FDA Guidance, “Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment” (FDA, 2006).
