Guest guest Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 All i can say is that here in the North Sea on my little rig i have 1 (One) bed in the sickbay. I have a multi tilting wheeled trolley which is a little like a UK Ambulance trolley but apart from that just the one bed.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Hi suggest you use a ED/ emergecny deptment type bed. Have never understood why you have to have a treatment couch and a bed does not matter if your on a rig or a clinic on a construction site or a bunker you never have enough room so one bed with adjutable head and foot sections is the way to go plus spend a little extra on the mattress your patients will thank you Cheers Tom G >From: " saudi_nurse " <alan_hartfield@...> >Reply- > >Subject: hospital beds >Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2005 08:42:45 -0000 > >Hi all > >i am currently working on a dive support vessell, we are looking to >upgrade our hospital following a dry dock c*** up. >the problem we are having is that we are told we need 2 beds in the >hospital but there isnt enough room for them and treatment couches. we >would like to combine the 2 and use hospital type trolleys as both >therefore making space for much needed storage. > >what are your hospitals like and what are using for beds and trolleys. > >have written to the MCA for guidance but not holding my breath for a >reply. > >thanks Alan > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Hi Alan, I may be wrong but I think it is a Norwegian requirement for two beds hence the two caravan beds in the sick bay, Steve Sheppard may be able to point you in the right direction, You could ask the Norwegian Nurse, she knows everything!!

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I have a Flex-a-Bed with the high/low option. The pros: Head and foot goes up and down and the entire bed will raise while remaining flat (as long as you get the high/low feature). It's a queen size and it looks like a normal bed. The cons: the mattress that comes with it isn't great and got lumpy within about 6 months. I got a Sleep Number mattress and the problem was solved, although I had to pay for the Sleep Number myself (OVR paid for the bed). This is my second Flex-a-Bed, my first one broke down after several years and trying to get it fixed was a hassle. My options were send it back to the factory or have their dealer take the motor out of the bed and take it back to their shop. Luckily, I have a handy neighbor and he fixed it in a couple hours. I do like it and with the Sleep Number mattress my wife doesn't complain that it's too firm. Tom Hospital beds I am interested in buying a hospital bed for my 18 year old daughter with SMA II. She weighs 55 lbs and it would be useful for head of the bed elevation for g-tube feedings, pressure relief for her and back relief for me. Does anyone have any suggestions and if so, can you tell me the pros and cons? Thanks, Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
