The process of fluidisation involves blowing warm air through small solid microspheres thus creating a liquid, without wetness. The warmth provides some important properties including reducing the metabolic rate in thermal injury which has a beneficial effect on mortality, modifying catabolism after surgery, providing gradual vasodilation in shock and core temperature stability in illness. The fluidisation ensures prevention and successful treatment of pressure sores, a comfortable and less stressful environment than conventional care, a reduction in pain, ease of wound care, discourages a bacterial persistence and reduces the work of the nurse. The importance of proper fluid balance, bacteriological care and limitations of posture must be appreciated in using the bed.
流化过程包括将温暖的空气吹过小的固体微球，从而形成一种无湿气的“液体”。这种温暖具有一些重要特性，包括降低热损伤中的代谢率，这对死亡率有有益影响；改变手术后的分解代谢；在休克时提供逐渐的血管舒张以及在患病时维持核心体温稳定。流化可确保预防和成功治疗压疮，营造一个比传统护理更舒适、压力更小的环境，减轻疼痛，便于伤口护理，抑制细菌滋生并减轻护士的工作负担。在使用这种床时，必须认识到适当的液体平衡、细菌学护理以及姿势限制的重要性。
