pressure adjustment
Generally, a lighter patient will need a lower (softer) set-
ting while a heavier patient will need a higher (rmer)
setting, but pressure adjustment must ultimately be based
on the patient's weight distribution. A short, stocky person
may be the same weight as a tall, thin person, but their
settings will not be the same. The mattress should be rm
enough to support the patient, yet soft enough so the
patient will sink down to eliminate pressure points. Initially
inate the mattress to maximum pressure. Then, when
patient lies on the mattress, test the pressure by placing
four ngers below the mattress under the patient's but-
tock area; your ngers should just t. If the t is too loose,
decrease the setting. If your ngers do not t well, increase
the setting two notches rmer. Wait ten minutes and then
check again. You should only have to adjust this setting
one time per patient. Please consult your physician for an
appropriate setting.
