The Clinitron bed is meant to be used for patients with a severe stage 3 pr 4 pressure ulcer that is having difficulty healing. Generally, if a patient has a pressure ulcer like this it means that they can't really move much on their own, so no worries about them getting in and out of bed. The way the bed works is there is this very fine sand inside the mattress that gets blown around inside by air when the bed is 'inflated.' This is supposed to help heal the pressure ulcer.

No need to turn patients Q2H or at all when they are on this bed, it is actually very difficult to. The only bedding you are supposed to have on this bed is a flat sheet (fitted sheet is too small) to be able to get the full effect of the beds purpose. Usually, at least at my hospital, if a doc wants to order a Clinitron bed they have to have the wound care nurse come and assess the wound first to determine that this is/isn't what is best for the patient. Also some advice, when you are doing the patients dressing change (i'm assuming they still have one if they are on this type of bed) it is best to deflate/turn off the bed otherwise it is very difficult to turn them.

Don't be intimitated by these beds, they are massive and scary and loud, just make sure you understand first how to use them. Call the bed company before using it if you're really not sure. Best of luck! The company makes special chux to use on all their air beds. It has no plastic on it so that it does not defeat the purpose of the bed. However it is best if you use only the flat sheet as mentioned above.

Are you using the 'old' clinitron that looks like a bathtub? If so, you are pretty much stuck with the height. Generally when a patient is on one of these, they are paralyzed and require a hoyer to get them in and out of bed anyway. There are newer clinitrons that are more bed like with the bead air surface from about mid-chest down and an air mattress up higher. These can be lowered somewhat to get people in and out of bed.

The bed should have come with a laminated instruction sheet chained to it.
