After watching this video [i] it seems like there's an opportunity here to completely rethink/redesign of the related equipment. I.e. instead of a normal bed, one that allows for a device to temporarily enclose the patient (like a tanning bed) inflate like a blood pressure cuff, rotate/turn the patient, then deflate and be removed for use on the next bed (i.e. the bed and rotating machines are co-operative, but separate).
Also, the ventilator and assoc. monitors need to be redesigned such that rotating the patient easily/automatically repositions the equipment with the rotation.

- inamberclad 7y agoRotating beds are already used with intubated patients quite frequently.
- canada_dry 7y agoExample [i]. The issue is that the cost to equip care facilities with these beds. My suggestion is to separate the rotating function such that a much less expensive general purpose bed can be used. [i] www.arjo.com/en-us/products/medical-beds/critical-care/rotoprone/
