Patient positioningĪ patient's position on the operating table depends on the surgical procedure to be performed as well as on his or her physical condition. Some patient risk factors that are more difficult to manage but can be minimized with appropriate preoperative care if possible are nutritional status, chronic illness, comorbidities, and preexisting pressure ulcers. Nonmodifiable risk factors are the length and type of procedure, the anesthesia requirements for the procedure, patient's age and body weight, and the patient's current medication regime. There are preexisting risk factors for positioning injuries, and some are modifiable while others are not. Injuries can be short-term, such as a neuropathy that resolves in 24 to 48 hours, or long-term, such as pressure ulcers that can lead to a stage IV ulcer. INTRAOPERATIVE POSITIONING injuries are devastating to the patient and the surgical team.
