measurements over 24-h by Goldmann and patients had their supine nighttime intraocular pressure measurements by Perkins.In 100 completed patients, the mean intraocular pressure at 1000, 2200, 0200 and 0600 hours while sitting was 22.5±3.7mmHg, and in the supine position, 23.5±4.3mmHg (<0.001)...
Pressure points should be padded well, according to the recommendations of the American Society of Anesthesiologists Task Force on Prevention of Perioperative Peripheral Neuropathies.3 In the supine position, the ulnar nerve and lower back are particularly vulnerable to injury. The arms should be supi...
However, it has several disadvantages, including discomfort for the patient after surgery (because in the prone position, the patient’s body is subjected to many pressure points throughout the procedure), a longer operative time, a more evident risk related to pressure points, and circulatory ...
An elongate cushion for therapeutically supporting a person in an arched face-down prone position. The cushion has an upper surface which slopes upwardly from each end toward the middle. At least one end has a channel the sides of which ... ...
BMI was positively correlated with peak airway pressure (PIP/Ppeak), Pplat, and airway resistance (Raw) and was negatively correlated with Compl; the differences among patients in lithotomy position were more remarkable (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The inspiratory plateau pressure and airway resistance ...
Patients suffering from cardiovascular autonomic failure often develop neurogenic supine hypertension (nSH), i.e., high blood pressure (BP) in the supine position, which falls in the upright position owing to impaired autonomic regulation. A committee was formed to reach consensus among experts on ...
Further problems with pillows or other support devices made of gel or other materials include the inability to readily adjust the height of the pillow according to the needs of various patients to adequately relieve pressure points from the patient contact/position, to readily clean and maintain pro...
As a result of all of these lateral transfers, the nursing and medical staff are often needed to help lift and reposition a patent from one horizontal surface to another. There is often some awkwardness involved in these lateral transfers as the care givers are not always able to position the...
Intraocular pressure comparison between the lateral decubitus position and supine position for right/left eye at various nocturnal measured time points.Jie, HaoYi, ZhenHao, WangDiya, YangNingli, Wang
Existing evidence points to supine related OSA being attributable to unfavorable airway geometry, reduced lung volume, and an inability of airway dilator muscles to adequately compensate as the airway collapses. The role of arousal threshold and ventilatory control instability in the supine position has...
