Intensive care or coronary care bed is also known as the "Special care bed". It means a hospital bed in which special medical/surgical services, beyond general medical/surgical care, including intensive care or coronary care, are provided.

What is a Coronary Care or Intensive Care Bed?
The demand for intensive care has increased relentlessly over the past 30 years but the provision of intensive care has lagged behind that demand. Thus, patients who are judged to need intensive care when a bed is unavailable are increasingly transferred to another hospital for such care. There are fewer critical care beds per person in many hospitals.

A coronary care or intensive care medical bed is used for those people who cannot be managed safely on an open acute ward. This bed usually cater for those types of patients with an acute psychotic episode who need time in a locked environment to receive the treatment that they require. These beds are adjustable. These beds can support critically ill/injured patients.
