Emergence of Covid-19 Worldwide Leads to Huge Gap in Supply and Demand for Powered and Manual Hospital Beds

 


Hospital beds come in many different types. There are literally hundreds of styles and options available in this category, with powered and manual hospital beds being a major classification. Hospital beds are divided into three choices to choose from: a manual hospital bed, a semi-automatic bed, and an electric bed.

Manual hospital beds are a great solution for people who have mobility issues. A manual bed offers great comfort, support, and is able to adjust its height and other aspects depending on the person's needs. Semi-automated hospital beds are a good choice when it comes to convenience of use. Semi-automated bed is controlled by a remote device and can also be adjusted in many ways. Due to its simplicity, it is also popular for home care individuals. They are available in many different styles and features. You can easily find one online or offline for a good price and it is a good choice for low cost home care.

Full-electric automated beds are more expensive than manual hospital beds and are great option for high-risk individuals. These beds offer adjustable heights and can even be adjusted from side to side. They can also be adjusted to full lock and release and come in many different models. Some models are automated with a hand crank to allow greater mobility but come with fewer features. There are even electric adjustable beds that are controlled by a computerized platform. These technologically advanced beds may be best suited for geriatric or medically supervised care settings.

The demand for powered and manual hospital beds has increased due to emergence of Covid-19 worldwide. However, overwhelming number of patients has led to significant gap in supply and demand. Estimated number of critically ill patients at the peak of a Wuhan-like outbreak in U.S cities per 10 000 adults ranged from 2.4 to 3.0, according to the US Census Bureau.

  An electronic medical record (EMR) is essentially a systematized collation of individual patient and family health information in an electronic format. This information is then shared across several health care locations. This will save time, money and provide patients with more comprehensive care. Increasing initiatives to digitalize the healthcare sector is expected to boost demand for EMR. For instance, in November 2019, Germany introduced Digital Supply Act to digitalize healthcare. Under the new legislation, doctors will be able to prescribe digital health apps to patients, which can be reimbursed by the country’s statutory health insurance. There are several advantages to using EMR. The main advantage is that you do not need to wait for the paper records to go through the paper processing before you can use them. Another advantage to electronic medical records is that they allow for greater privacy. Electronic health records allow only the doctor to see these rec

Increase In Oil Production and Exploration Activities Is Creating a Need for Oilfield Chemicals

Image
  Chemicals used in oil and gas extraction operations are known as oilfield chemicals. Oilfield chemicals find applications in workover & completion, production chemicals, well stimulation, drilling fluids, enhanced oil recovery, and cementing. Oilfield chemicals are used to improve the efficiency and productivity of the petroleum refining and oil drilling process and to achieve optimum performance with effective recovery. Oilfield chemicals facilitate the maintenance of a well-operated oil field, reducing the cost of delays and stops during the drilling process.    Oilfield chemicals are used at various stages during the production of the oil and gas as drilling additives, corrosion inhibitors, cementing super plasticizers, demulsifiers and dispersants, and repair systems for cementing failures. Moreover, these chemicals are also used to explore natural resources. With the increasing number of exploration activities around the world, the demand for oilfield chemicals is increasi
