Patient was in a dolphin bariatric bed; a rapid response was called on patient for respiratory distress, patient was intubated at bedside, and was then coded for asystole.Patient needed to be moved to icu.Side rails were taken down and the sides of bed were put in.We were unable to get the bed out of the room due to the mattress getting stuck in the door way; unable to deflate mattress.Icu brought down a regular bed, patient was lifted into icu bed and transferred.This caused a delay in transfer and patient coded in the icu hallway.Nurse managers were at bedside to try to trouble shoot the bed.Report entered to alert manufacturer of safety concern with this low use: high risk cpr deflation valve.The concern is although the bed is able to be deflated to get it out of the patient room and able to be re-inflated in the hallway outside the patient room for transfer, the concern is the time this takes poses a safety risk.Additionally, the mattress when deflated, is not supportive for resuscitative measures (cpr) and should not have a patient on it for any length of time.
