Clearing the bed space

The bed space should allow procedures to be carried out from either side of the bed with adequate circulation space so that emergency teams can gain access to the patient.

Warning sign Even in an emergency situation, we would advise you to raise the bed level to an appropriate height in order to maintain good posture, so please be mindful of this when watching the video clip.
