BED SAFETY & POSITIONING Bed safety is a critical aspect of patient care in hospitals. Bed entrapment is a serious safety issue that can cause numerous injuries.This means a patient could get trapped in areas around or between the bedrails, mattress, and bedframe. Bed entrap- ment does not happen often, but when it does, it can result in serious injuries. To reduce the risk of entrapment, padded bed rails and bed rail protectors are used to provide gap protection. These products are designed to eliminate the risk of patients becoming entrapped in the tight spaces around a typical bed rail.
