Patient positioning in anaesthesia
provide the best surgical access while minimizing potential risk to the patient. Each position carries some degree of risk and this is magnified in the anaesthetized patient who cannot make others aware of compromised positions. Commonly adopted positions include supine, lithotomy, Lloyd Davies, lateral, seated and prone. Many of these are modified with the addition of a vertical tilt (Trendele...
متن کاملPatient Positioning During Anaesthesia
Different patient positions are required to provide access for different surgical procedures. Each position has implications for ventilation and haemodynamics, as well as exposing patients to possible complications such as nerve injury and pressure sores. The anaesthetist plays an important role in minimising the risks associated with these positions. Common positions include supine, lithotomy,...
متن کاملAutomated Verification of IGRT‐based Patient Positioning
A system for automated quality assurance in radiotherapy of a therapist's registration was designed and tested in clinical practice. The approach compliments the clinical software's automated registration in terms of algorithm configuration and performance, and constitutes a practical approach for ensuring safe patient setups. Per our convergence analysis, evolutionary algorithms perform better...
متن کاملPatient positioning and ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Rotational beds, prone position, and semi-recumbent position have been proposed as procedures to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Rotational therapy uses a special bed designed to turn continuously, or nearly continuously, the patient from side to side; specific designs include kinetic therapy and continuous lateral rotation therapy. A meta-analysis of studies evaluating the effec...
