A tilt table test is a type of medical diagnostic examination that assesses how someone reacts to changes in posture, particularly those that occur when they are lying down and then standing up. The test is frequently used to identify diseases such as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), orthostatic hypotension, and syncope (fainting).
A specially made table that can be tilted from a horizontal to a vertical position makes up the tilt table test apparatus. To help the patient remain securely in place during the exam, the table is furnished with straps or belts. A blood pressure monitor and an electrocardiogram (ECG), which track heartbeat and rhythm, are all attached to the patient as they are lying on the table.
The exam involves tilting the table upward to simulate rising from a laying to a standing position. While the table is tilted, the patient’s heart rate and blood pressure are continuously recorded. The test normally lasts 20 to 45 minutes, and additional techniques, such as giving drugs or performing deep breathing exercises, may be used to elicit a response.
The results of the tilt table test can be used to determine what is causing symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting in the first place.
Additional testing or treatment may be suggested based on the findings. Despite the fact that the test is typically regarded as safe, there is a very slight chance of fainting or other consequences, especially in people with underlying medical issues.
The Global Tilt Table Test Equipment Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Plinth 2000 has created a new bariatric tilt table that can support patients weighing up to 50 stone in cooperation with the Colman NHS Hospital in Norwich.
The table has been completely re-engineered to meet safe working load (SWL) ratings for tilting and lifting through the use of synchronised twin motors and linear actuators, which include an intelligent service monitoring system. The table was designed for use in the rehabilitation of morbidly obese patients.
The first table has already been delivered to Colman Hospital, which houses the Colman Centre For Specialist Rehabilitation, for use in its physiotherapy division. The new table includes OpenBus digital communication as a platform for logging in-service data and to create a solution that is future-proof.
