How well do Hill Rom Bed Percussion functionalities work?
Hello. How are you all doing?

I have a question for you all who use Hill Rom beds with the feature of Vibration and percussion. Well, actually, I have several questions.

1: How does it work? Is there percussion from a source that is in the air mattress, or is it from air itself?

2: How much percussion do you actually get from it vs the Hill Rom Vest airway clearance system?

3: Is the percussion and the vibration the same feature, or is vibration a seperate feature?

Thank you, and God bless.

hi there, don't know if you're still looking for an answer for this or not, but i'll give it my best shot.

i don't know how exactly the mattress works, so that i can't speak to. my personal feeling is that the bed is not nearly as effective as the actual chest vest, which is why we end up doing the bed q2 most of the time. there are 2 modules that you can place into the bed; the percussion/vibration and rotation. hope that helps!
