Overview
Meet the Progressa+ ICU Bed
In the ICU, you need to be ready for anything. With critical patients, complex treatment plans and limited staffing, there is no room for delay. With stakes this high, you can’t trust just any bed. You need a bed designed with the ICU in mind.
Always Ready in the ICU
We designed the Progressa+ Bed—a true ICU bed—specifically for your realities in critical care. It draws on the strong legacy of its predecessor and builds on it with meaningful improvements designed for today’s ICUs, including skin protection, in-bed pulmonary therapy, patient mobility support and much more. Discover what makes the Progressa+ ICU bed always ready to support you, so you’re always ready in the ICU.
Protect Patients’ Skin
Hospital-acquired pressure injuries are all too common in the ICU, where patients are often immobile. These complications are harmful in more ways than one:

They’re Urgent
60,000 patients die every year from pressure injuries.1

They’re Costly
Treating stage III or IV pressure injuries in hospitals can cost an average of $43,000.2,3

They’re Pervasive
170 patients per year will acquire a pressure injury in an average 100-bed facility.4,5
Support Patient Mobility
One-button FullChair position with sit-to-stand option, together with early patient mobility protocol support, helps you get patients up and moving safely without heavy or unsafe lifting for your care teams.1,2



Help Reduce Patient Falls by 55%—Guaranteed*
The average cost of a patient fall is $62,521. Progressa+ ICU beds help prevent falls with features like a three-mode bed exit alarm and FullChair positioning.*

Progressa+ Users Have Spoken
We surveyed 60 clinicians using the Progressa+ Accelerate ICU bed in four U.S. facilities. Read what they had to say about its effectiveness in supporting mobility protocols, continuous lateral rotation therapy protocols, percussion and vibration therapy and more.
Survey Results: Utilization of In-Bed Percussion and Vibration
A survey was administered in the Med-Surg and Cardiac ICUs of a large academic Level 1 Trauma Center. 78 nurses shared their feedback on in-bed percussion and vibration support for chest physiotherapy. Download the infographic for key takeaways including:
- 96% found the percussion and vibration feature easy to use
- 57% perceived a decrease in respiratory complications
- An additional 39% also perceived faster mobilization, less ventilation and shorter hospital stays
Impact of Continuous Lateral Rotation Therapy (CLRT)-Enabled ICU Beds on Pulmonary Ventilation
Read how CLRT-enabled ICU beds can help patients at risk for pulmonary complications due to immobility. We also share real-world feedback from Progressa+ ICU bed users on how this true ICU bed helps support their CLRT workflows. For example:
- 87% agreed that the touchscreen panels allow for compliance monitoring for pulmonary protocols.
- 64% agreed or strongly agreed that the CLRT preview function makes it easy for clinicians to see how much patients are turning to the left/right while ensuring no lines become obstructed or pulled out during therapy.
Features
Better Care in the ICU Can Help Support Better Care Across the Hospital
The effects of specialized critical care can extend well beyond the ICU. From skin protection to respiratory care to mobility support and more, what starts here matters everywhere. Watch and learn how the Progressa+ bed makes a difference in the ICU, so you can make a difference throughout your patient’s stay — and beyond.
Protect Patients’ Skin From Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries
Immobile patients are at higher risk for skin breakdown.2 Help protect your patients’ skin and reduce the burden on your clinicians with the Progressa+ bed.
- Help prevent hospital-acquired pressure injuries with advanced surfaces that manage heat, moisture, pressure, shear and friction1
- Simplify patient positioning with a bed that helps prevent sliding, adjusts for each patient’s height and helps clinicians turn patients with the press of a button1
- Take time- and energy-consuming tasks off your clinicians’ minds, so they can focus where they’re needed most

Breathe Easy With In-bed Pulmonary Therapies
Long periods of immobility are common in the ICU, making pulmonary complications a top concern.3,4 The Progressa+ bed supports therapies and protocols to help combat these issues without additional devices or more clinicians needing to be called to the bedside.
- Deliver pulmonary therapies like chest physiotherapy, percussion and vibration and continuous lateral rotation—in bed, with the press of a button.
- Support proning orders and protocols with an easy-to-attach accessory that provides uninhibited access to the patient’s face.
- Help clinicians deliver respiratory therapies with no additional devices and no additional clinicians required.

Move Patients Early and Often with Safe Patient Mobility Support
In the ICU, mobility is key to stability. Mobility protocols are proven to reduce both ICU length of stay and the number of ventilator days.5 Get your patients moving earlier and often while reducing strain on clinicians with an early mobility protocol and the Progressa+ bed.
- Help patients safely stand with the one-button FullChair position with sit-to-stand option.
- Tap into our clinically proven Early Mobility Program, helping patients get moving earlier and stabilize more quickly.6
- Protect clinician safety by helping them mobilize patients without heavy or unsafe lifting.

Help Reduce Pulmonary Complications
Help loosen secretions in the lungs for easier removal with in-bed pulmonary therapies.
The Baxter Progressa+ Bed—a true ICU bed—helps you deliver pulmonary therapies with the tap of a few buttons, including:
- Continuous Lateral Rotation Therapy (CLRT)
- Pulmonary and Vibration Therapy
The Progressa+ bed’s full-body CLRT also maintains body alignment for optimal pressure redistribution, supporting a more comfortable, therapeutic experience.
ICU Patient Proning Accessory
The Progressa+ Bed—a true ICU bed—helps support patients from prone to standing. Comply with patient proning orders and protocols with this easy-to-attach accessory that provides uninhibited access to the patient’s face.

Reduce Strain on Clinicians
Simple Patient Positioning
Get patients of all heights and weights in the proper position and keep them there—no heavy lifting or boosting required. The Progressa+ bed responds dynamically to changing head-of-bed angles to help keep them in an upright position and avoid sliding down.
Advanced Microclimate Technology
Help reduce heat and moisture to help prevent skin breakdown with Advanced Microclimate technology.¹ And with integrated low-air-loss therapy, you can deliver the therapy your patient needs when they need it—no need to search for additional equipment or transfer patients to a rental product.
One-Button TurnAssist and Boost Support
Turn and boost patients safely and easily with fewer clinicians.1,2,3
FlexAFoot Mechanism
Accommodate patients of different heights with the FlexAFoot retractable foot mechanism. With an easily adjustable bed length, you can help prevent sliding and reduce the need for repositioning along with associated friction and shear.¹

Fluoroscopy and X-Ray Ready
Help reduce the delays and risks associated with transferring patients to diagnostic or procedural areas. With a larger radiolucent window and X-ray sleeve, you can accommodate more in-bed procedures, imaging and fluoroscopy without leaving the patient’s room.

Smart Device Connectivity
Communicate Actionable Insights at the Point of Care
Connect with a secure cloud-based portal for centralized remote management of Baxter beds and devices. SmartCare Remote Management gives biomedical engineers and/or Baxter service technicians access to manage devices with features including:
- Remote update configuration
- Remote upgrade asset firmware
- Remote asset location tracking
- Remote error code notification
