| 摘要 |
A combination hospital bed and surgical table is disclosed. It is comprised of: a frame having floor-engaging wheels, a substantially flat, substantially rectangular deck carried by the frame, suitable for holding a human patient in the supine position, the deck having a head end and a foot end and being divided into at least three sections, including a lengthwise center section bordered by two, opposite, lengthwise, side sections that are hingedly connected to the frame so that they each can swing from a horizontal position down to an underneath position, below the center section, thereby making the deck narrower to facilitate its use as a surgical table, and means for holding the side sections in their horizontal position. Preferred additional features include means for raising and lowering the deck to different heights, a drop leaf head support segment, built-in weighing means, channels underneath the bed surface for X-ray cassettes, and an articulated bed surface to permit the bed to be converted into Trendelenburg, reverse Trendelenburg, or other positions, even a sitting position. |
