I was called to or 7 to look at or table, which per certified registered nurse anesthetist (crna) was not functioning correctly.The or table appeared to have a hydraulic leak that may have been causing the table to malfunction.Head of bed was very slowly dropping, which is how/when anesthesia noticed a problem.Table info: mizuho, skytron elite 6302.The decision was made by the surgical team, surgeon and anesthesia to change beds before prep and drape (patient had already been intubated).The bed hydraulic leak was not noticed until the patient had been intubated.The weight of the patient may have made the leak more pronounced to where staff could see the leak.Table was immediately taken out of use and labeled do not use.Manufacturer representative was contacted to fix the bed asap.He confirmed he will be here next day morning before cases start.
