防跌措施包括:床位降至最低(A)、提供床邊便器以減少行走(B)、鎖住輪子防止滑動(C)及充足照明(E)。拉起所有四面床欄(D)被視為「約束(Restraint)」,可能導致病人試圖翻越而跌得更重,通常只建議拉起兩側近頭端的床欄。
Fall prevention strategies include keeping the bed in the lowest position to minimize injury, providing a bedside commode to reduce ambulation distance, locking wheels to prevent movement during transfers, and ensuring adequate lighting for safe navigation. Raising all four side rails is contraindicated as it constitutes a restraint and may encourage clients to climb over, increasing fall severity.
✦ 台美臨床差異
美國對「Restraint-free environment」有極嚴格要求;台灣近年也在推動減少床欄使用,但家屬接受度仍待加強。
