In case of an emergency or as needed, the Latera beds offer Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg options to help the patient get into the ideal position for optimal health, comfort, and safety.

Red Trendelenburg Button

The red Trendelenburg button or emergency Trendelenburg option on the Accessory Control Panel (ACP) automatically flattens the bed and puts the patient's head down and feet up. The Trendelenburg position may be the first choice during patient collapses connected with low blood pressure.

Grey Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg Buttons

The grey Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg buttons on the ACP are functions that tilt the bed either head down/feet up or head up/feet down respectively, while the bed profile stays the same. When compared to the red emergency Trendelenburg button, with the grey Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg buttons, press and hold the buttons to adjust and release to stop adjustment. The Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg positions can help improve or increase patient comfort and individual settings in a specific situation.
