Have YOU, ever gotten to literally gotten to experience the feeling of the RotoProne bed m

[ECMO]

Hello. I know this is unconventional, however I have a question. Have any of you even gotten to experience what it is like to actually experience the KCI RotoProne bed for your yourself? I know this question is not your every day question, however, I would like to know what it felt like. Thank you so much. God Bless you all.

ECMO, what's your story?

In the past three days, you've asked some very specific questions about three different types of beds, barium, pump simulators, and other specific brand-name equipment.

Are you a nurse, a student, a patient, or....?

I was thinking the same thing. Is OP just a curious student or ICU nurse. It would have never occured to me they were a survivor of such a treatment bed.

Best of wishes for your recovery, OP.

Thank you so much. I have survived several things that it was said that I would not. I'm very very blessed

The original question seems very interesting for me.

The thing is, the whole world looks very different from the point of view of the patient. I knew well beforehead that I would get there and my chances were less than 100%. I thought I was ready for everything, and, of course, I was not. Neither were those who cared for me. Enough to say that I was irritated beoynd all means by a strange burring sound, like a huge bumblebee near my head at all hours day and night. As it turned out, it was mik exctractor machine which they had to get and use in ICU because nobody imagined I would lactate at all but the Mother Nature had her own way as usual. With that, I felt nothing at all physically, I was just ready to smash the source of the sound to pieces. I had tons more of episodes of "changed percrption", not quite psychotic but definitely not "normal" either. Some of them I now feel as purely funny, some are still nightmatish and it has nothing to do with real danger, only with my scewed perception. I wonder sometimes if my kiddo has anything like thsn in the very bottom of her memory. After all, she spent the whole 3, 5 months in NICU.

Thank you for good wishes... ECMO, you'll get outta there, I'm telling you!

I've woken up screaming from a nightmare where I was forced into a rotoprone while on nimbex but without propofol. Couldn't imagine volunteering to try one out!

I tried one for a 15 minute demonstration. The pronation was quite comfortable, but the supine position with the face cradle on made me quite claustrophobic. Definitely gave me some perspective.
