F 0909 Regularly inspect all bed frames, mattresses, and bed rails (if any) for safety; and all bed rails and mattresses must attach safely to the bed frame. Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm **NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** 39670

Residents Affected - Few Based on observation, interview, medical record review, facility document review, and facility P&P review,

the facility failed to ensure the residents' entrapment assessments were accurate, complete and the measurements were recorded during the bed inspection when identifying areas of possible entrapment with

the use of bed rails for all three residents (Residents 18, 50, and 423) with side rails. These failures had the potential to negatively impact the residents resulting in possible entrapment, serious injury, and death.

Findings:

According to the Hospital Bed System Dimensional and Assessment Guidance to Reduce Entrapment, the term entrapment describes an event in which a patient/resident is caught, trapped, or entangled in the space

in or about the bed rail, mattress, or hospital bed frame. Patient entrapments may result in deaths and serious injuries. These entrapment events have occurred in openings within the bed rails, between the bed rails and mattresses, under bed rails, between split rails, and between the bed rails and head or foot boards.

The population most vulnerable to entrapment are elderly patients and residents, especially those who are frail, confused, restless, or who have uncontrolled body movement. The seven areas in the bed system where there is a potential for entrapment are:

- Zone 1: within the rail;

- Zone 2: under the rail, between the rail supports or next to a single rail support;

- Zone 3: between the rail and the mattress;

- Zone 4: under the rail, at the ends of the rail;

- Zone 5: between split bed rails;

- Zone 6: between the end of the rail and the side edge of the head or foot board; and

- Zone 7: between the head or foot board and the mattress end.

Review of the facility's P&P titled Bed Rails revised 11/16/22, showed for the purpose of this policy bed rails include side rails, safety rails, and grab or assist bars. Regardless of mattress type, width, length, and/or depth, the bed frame, bed rail, and mattresses will leave no gap wide enough to entrap a resident's head or body. Any gaps in the bed system are within the safety dimensions established by the FDA. Maintenance staff routinely inspects all bed and related equipment to identify risks and problems including potential entrapment risks. The maintenance department provides a copy of inspection to the administrator and report results to the QAPI committee for appropriate actions. Copies of the inspection results and QAPI committee recommendations are maintained by the administrator and/or safety committee.
