Guest guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Couple of points to be made if I may The nice ER beds that do everything are pretty expensive I never had the luxury of one in the field clinics I have worked in Definitely need an adjustable head, bed, though Bed rails are nice In lieu of that A couple of belts are good (AlterdMental Status, Seizures etc...) More often than not We use the ambulance stretcher as the temporary emergency bed We regularly kick the clinic bed out To make room for the ambo stretcher (non platform operation) Long term, stable Pts Enjoy a regular bed Recently got into the habit of strapping the vacuum mattress on the resus bed I like the idea worse thing I can think of is Doing CPR on a soft vac mattress (Pump remains by the bed side at all times (or suction) peter mitchell <treetop_bay@...> wrote: Nigel, I have never quite understood the use of an examination chair, except in dental or opthalmic offices, and so have avoided them. But if you have a bed with an adjustable back rest then that can suffice for the bed/couch so long as you have a good covering material over the bedclothes....the interesting part is gambling on whether or not you will only ever need the one, unless you are admitting only walking wounded.....!

All the answers that came to my mind ... I sent right back down into the gutter Otherwise All you need Is the single sigh of a suspected seizure Flipping a hard nose first dive off YOUR gurney That you start thinking of actual legetimit uses of a belt/Strap/Tie down I Promise to save for next time the witty salacious replies I had lined up for you (polite tonight) Brault (In beautiful lake Como) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hi Jeff, I think that might depend on the type of book you're reading. Some books are so interesting they are difficult to put down, while others are so boring you can barely get through the first page. ;o) I think it's safe to say that reading is a good way of unwinding after a long day. It's most likely the lights of the TV that are so stimulating, so that's why it's suggested to avoid it right before bed. Happy Reading! Group Moderator > > Bee, > This might not be the most important question of the day, however I wanted to know your thoughts on reading before bed. On your site it says to avoid watching tv 30 minutes prior to bed because the tv is very stimulating. Does reading have the same effects on the brain when trying to fall asleep? Or is reading okay to do before bed? I searched your site and didn't find anything on this subject. Thought??? > > Thanks, > Jeff > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
