| Article: Patient Positioning Devices – "Posing The Patient" |
The appropriate positioning of a surgical patient is, naturally, in the
best interest of the surgeon. A well positioned patient affords the
surgical staff efficient and comfortable access to the surgical site. But
proper positioning greatly affects the patient as well. Cardiac and
respiratory problem, excessive intraoperative bleeding, and pressure damage
to skin and nerves can all result if a patient is positioned poorly or is
not properly supported.
