I've never heard of this procedure. It's certainly not standard, and I can't think of a reason you'd want to do that.
I think... generally the beds (for the most part) are raised anyway...

In NY state can a child be responsible for a bed hold for a deceased parents room at a nursing home while they were in the hospital?
It depends. If the patient was on Medicaid and had been in the facility at least 30 days, the facility must "hold" the bed for at least 15 but not more than 20 days. The patient or POA is to be given a notice of same. If the nursing home vacancy rate was too high, or the patient had not been there at least 30 days, or had some insurance or payment agreement other than Medicaid, the nursing home is not obligated to hold the bed at all. They are then obligated to inform the patient/POA of the options. One is for the patient to pay the daily rate to hold the bed. There is no limit to the length of time as long as there is payment. One is to give up the bed. Then there is no obligation to take the patient back at all. If there was an agreement to hold the bed, and the patient does not return for whatever reason (dies, too ill, gets better) the patient's monies are to be used to honor that contract to hold the bed. The children are not responsible, but the estate of the patient is responsible.
How do I choose the most suitable hospital bed for a patient?
When choosing a hospital bed for a patient, there are several factors to consider such as the patient's medical condition, size and weight, and mobility needs. 1. Medical condition: The patient's medical condition will determine the type of bed that is most suitable for them. For example, if the patient has a pressure ulcer, an adjustable air mattress bed would be a good option as it can help reduce the risk of pressure ulcers. 2. Size and weight: The patient's size and weight will determine the weight capacity of the bed. It is important to choose a bed that can accommodate the patient's weight and size comfortably. 3. Mobility needs: The patient's mobility needs will determine the type of bed that is most suitable for them. For example, if the patient is able to get in and out of bed independently, a manual bed would be a good option. However, if the patient requires assistance with mobility, an electric bed would be a better choice. 4. Other features: There are also other features to consider when choosing a hospital bed, such as the bed height, bed rails, and the option for a bedside table. It is important to consult with the patient's healthcare provider or occupational therapist to determine the most suitable bed for their specific needs.
How do you transfer a patient from bed to gurney?
Step 1. Prepare to move Put the head of the bed down and adjust the bed height. Be sure the wheels of the bed are locked. Put a garbage bag or plastic slide board between the sheet and draw-sheet, beneath one edge of the patient's torso. Move the patient's legs closer to the edge of the bed. Instruct the patient to cross his or her arms across his or her chest, and explain the move to the patient. Step 2. Pull to edge of bed Grasp the draw-sheet on both sides of the bed. On the count of 3, lean back and shift your weight, sliding the patient to the edge of the bed. The helper holds the sheet, keeping it from slipping. Step 3. Position stretcher Have the helper "cradle" the patient in the draw-sheet while you retrieve a stretcher. Adjust the bed to be slightly higher than the stretcher. Then, position the stretcher, locking it in place. Move the patient's legs onto the stretcher. Step 4. Slide onto stretcher Have the helper kneel on the bed, holding on to the draw-sheet. On the count of 3, grasp the draw-sheet and slide the patient onto the stretcher. You may need to repeat this step.
