Claims16
Patient support comprising
- a) an electricity conducting apparatus for carrying out a bioimpedance measurement on a patient's body,
- wherein the apparatus comprises
- a signal carrying device for coupling a measurement signal into the patient's body and
- an electrically conductive device for coupling an electrical measurement value thereby generated in the patient's body out of the patient's body,
- b) an apparatus for at least one of detection and calculation of hydrostatic pressure at least by inclination of one or more position adjustment parameters of the patient support selected from the group consisting of a back rest, leg rest, and foot rest, and
- c) a data carrying interface for connecting to a medical treatment device,
- wherein, when connected to the medical treatment device via the interface, data correlated with the electrical measurement value transmitted via the interface to the medical treatment device at least one of controls and regulates the medical treatment device.
