Pediatrics

Designed to Support Recovery at Every Age

Children who require intensive care deserve technology that not only supports their medical needs but also helps them recover safely and as early as possible. The VitalGo Total Lift Bed was designed to promote progressive mobility while minimizing the risks associated with prolonged bed rest—helping pediatric patients begin their journey toward recovery sooner.

 

Whether recovering from trauma, neurological injury, complex surgery, respiratory failure, or prolonged critical illness, children can experience rapid muscle loss, weakness, and functional decline after only a few days of immobility. The Total Lift Bed helps clinicians introduce safe, progressive upright positioning and verticalization earlier in the recovery process while maintaining a secure, controlled environment.

Pediatric ECMO Patients

Children receiving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) are among the most medically complex patients in the hospital. Historically, these patients remained heavily sedated and confined to bed due to concerns about safety and the complexity of managing life-support equipment.

The Total Lift Bed helps support a modern approach to pediatric ECMO care by enabling progressive verticalization and early mobility while maintaining patient stability. As part of a multidisciplinary ECMO program, the bed can facilitate gradual elevation and standing progression, helping clinicians combat the significant muscle wasting and deconditioning that often accompany prolonged ECMO support.

Potential benefits include:

• Preserving muscle mass and strength during ECMO support.

• Improving tolerance to upright positioning.

• Supporting respiratory rehabilitation and secretion clearance.

• Reducing the long-term effects of critical illness.

• Helping prepare patients for recovery following decannulation and discharge from the ICU.

A Family-Centered Approach

The Total Lift Bed also creates meaningful opportunities for children to interact with their environment. Progressive upright positioning allows pediatric patients to engage more naturally with family members, caregivers, therapists, and activities, helping support emotional well-being alongside physical recovery.

Helping Children Recover Stronger

At VitalGo, we believe recovery should begin as early as possible. The Total Lift Bed empowers pediatric care teams to safely incorporate progressive mobility and verticalization into everyday care, helping children maintain strength, improve function, and return to the activities that matter most.
