There are many classification standards for medical beds, the most common of which include: by power mode (manual, semi-electric, and fully electric); and by usage scenario (general nursing beds and ICU beds).
An electric hospital bed is a medical bed driven by a motor, adjustable using a remote control or bedside control panel. Back elevation, leg adjustment, and bed height adjustments are all performed by electric actuators. Manual beds, on the other hand, rely on a crank handle for manual adjustment of angle or height by caregivers.
