Sinopsis

A reference and technique manual covering patient positioning in anaesthesia and surgery. Separate chapters discuss the physiology, the technique, and the possible complications of each technique. A reference organization groups positioning chapters by the body's relation to the supporting surface of the table. Specific problems and subgroups of patients also receive full chapter coverage. Additional chapters cover: the operating table and its accessories; positioning of the lower extremities; positioning hazards for geriatric patients; lithotripsy; and medicolegal considerations. New topics discussed include: the presentation of risk factors for ulnar and lower extremity motor neuropathies; the hyperlordotic position and its problems; the problems caused by pressurized abdominal insufflation for laparoscopy in the presence of head up or head down tilt; and an increased emphasis on pre-anaesthetic recognition and evaluation of potential positioning problems.
