BORCAD Medical AVE PPA-AX30 Instruction Manual page 15

Delivery bed provides the possibility to perform an acute Caesarean section
either under general anaesthesia or NAB anaesthesia (neuraxial block). It also
enables for immediate preparation of the birth mother for a Caesarean section
and her positioning on the side until the foetus is removed (supine syndrome
prevention), also the use of other medical devices (resulting in ME system) for
continuous control of reduced venous return, blood pressure, routine ECG
monitoring, pulse oximeter, NIBP, and capnometry. During procedures it is
possible to use approved surgical devices (VF) for making incisions or
coagulation. If it is necessary to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, it can
be performed on this delivery bed including the use of the defibrillator. Delivery
bed is also equipped with a Trendelenburg position, which can be operated by
both electric drive and mechanically – manually. After delivery and the transfer
of a birth mother it is necessary to wash and disinfect all the easily removable
parts and light upholstery together with plastic parts and covers again.
 The upper handle on the backrest can, in some cases (given the
customs of a particular school or workplace) provide slightly worse
access for the anaesthesiologist to the patient.
 For a Caesarean section it is necessary to remove the trapeze bar from
the delivery bed and lower the foot section to the lowest position.
Indication
Delivery bed is designated to be used by mothers ready for spontaneous
vaginal delivery and also as aid to search for individual positions providing relief

typical or an alternative way – positions: lying on the back, the semi-recumbent
position, on all four limbs, lying on the side, in a squatting position, in a
suspended position or squatting down with the help of a partner. In case of
acute, urgent or emergency needs it is possible to perform a Caesarean
section.
Contra-indications
A relative contra-indication is the use of the delivery bed for elective Caesarean
sections (planned) when it is planned to perform the surgery in a standard
operation room with adequate equipment.

When using the delivery bed as part of the medical system, certain elements
