It was reported by the patient that the bed made a loud noise and then "threw her out of it." based on the account's internal investigation, they believe that the patient had wrapped the cord for a blood cuff pressure monitor around the siderail of the bed.The patient then lowered the lift of the bed, pulling the display for the blood cuff pressure monitor underneath the bed.The bed then crushed the monitor causing two casters to be lifted off the ground and the bed to slightly lean.The patient was then able to step out of bed (and was not "thrown," as the patient had stated.) the account also reported that the patient had underlying conditions which may have caused her to allege a different event description.No adverse consequence was reported.
