Abstract

A patient care unit (1) with a bed for accommodating a patient makes possible undisturbed accessibility to the patient by avoiding cable connections between sensors at the patient and the measuring instruments or treating devices (2) belonging to them. The patient care unit (1) has a receiving unit for receiving sensor signals of the patient, transmission features for passing on the sensor signals to a transmitting unit in the patient care unit (1) or to a cable connection (4) for connecting the patient care unit (1) to the power supply, so that the sensor signals enter measuring instruments or treating devices (2) that belong to them for the evaluation of the sensor signals in a wireless manner or via the power supply.
