Adjustable Positions: ICU beds are highly adjustable to accommodate a variety of positions. Common adjustments include head, back, leg, and height adjustments, allowing healthcare providers to optimize patient comfort and medical care.

Electric Controls: Most ICU beds are equipped with electric controls, making it easy for nurses and caregivers to adjust bed positions with minimal effort. These controls can be operated by a handheld remote or integrated controls on the bed itself.

Safety Rails: ICU beds are often equipped with side safety rails to prevent patients from falling out of bed, especially when they are unconscious or require restraint.

Braking System: The bed’s wheels can be locked in place to prevent unintended movement, ensuring patient safety and stability during medical procedures.

Mattress: ICU bed mattresses are specially designed to reduce pressure sores, improve patient comfort, and enhance circulation. Some are powered to rotate or redistribute pressure automatically.

Weight Capacity: These beds are designed to support a wide range of patient weights, including bariatric patients.

Headboard and Footboard: Many ICU beds come with headboards and footboards, which may serve as attachment points for medical equipment or provide an added level of patient security.

Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg Positions: These beds often include Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg positions, where the bed tilts with the head either elevated or lowered to improve circulation or access for certain medical procedures.

Battery Backup: To ensure uninterrupted care during power outages, some ICU beds are equipped with battery backup systems.

IV Poles and Attachment Points: ICU beds often have attachment points for IV (intravenous) poles and other medical equipment.

Scale Integration: Some advanced ICU beds have built-in scales for accurate patient weight measurement.

Emergency CPR Features: In emergencies, the bed can be quickly adjusted to a flat position to facilitate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

X-ray Translucent: The bed’s design may allow it to be X-ray translucent, allowing for imaging without having to reposition the patient.
