[Dysphagia] RE: chairs used for modified barium swallow studi es

Do you have the Hausted that moves manually (i.e. with levers)? I find
that having the electronic version makes it quite easy to lower, raise,
etc for transfer.

We also use this Hausted chair and use tumble forms. We also have a
pediatric insert which you can purchase in 2 different sizes.
We are in the process of evaluating a new chair from Transmotion Medical
and it is motorized.
If anyone has this chair I would be interested in their feedback. (Cost
is approx $7,100 U.S) 

We have found that the Hausted chair is quite high for transferring of
patients and can be somewhat awkward with a heavy patient moving them
from the reclined to sitting position.

With the Hausted chair I have used something called "tumbleforms"...I'm
hoping this was the actual name and not just our name for them!

They come in different sizes for children (and even babies) to be
positioned on the chair.

what are you referring to when you say "pediatric positioners"?

We use the Hausted VIC chair and we love it! We have been using it for 3
years now and have not had one bad thing to say about it, much better
than the VESS chair that we were using prior to the VIC. You can get the
pediatric positioners as well if you have peds patients. I love how that
you can go from a lateral view to an AP by just pushing on a knob and
spinning the patient around rather than moving the chair out and
repositioning. The best features is how you can transfer patients so
easily. I think we paid around $3200 3 years ago.

The HAUSTED chair is the best one I've used...wider base, but narrow
back so it will fit between the plates. It has the capacity to recline
for easy transfers from  bed, and straps to hold people in place if they
have difficulty supporting themselves.

I believe it is quite expensive...its been a while since i looked at the
prices.

Hope this helps,
Deanna

Do you have a c-arm available to you? That would give you lots more
room.

The physicians in my area of the country are unwilling to do it.  "Too
dangerous" is the reason I get.  They have their minds made up.

If you read the AAFP article it is abundantly clear that there is
nothing remotely dangerous about it. It can't be. IV is infinitely more
"dangerous" and yet there seems to be no reluctance about it. How
appalling that such ignorance  deprives patients of needed care.

I have used a c-arm quite a bit in multiple settings. Works great! The
problems I have found have been that it can be more work for the
radiology departments & that's why I think it is not done more.
Especially helpful for more sick patients, larger patients, vent
patients as it can be used at the bedside. And some times with certain
c-arms, chairs & short patient combinations you may not be able to get a
low enough view, sometimes sitting the patient on a pillow helps. I
think you may find that after the fluoro suite is ready to go you may
want to stick with the c-arm instead.
