POSITIONING, PREPPING ANDDRAPING THE PATIENT
7/30/2019 prep, dressing, draping the patient

Preliminary Considerations
Positioning for a surgical procedure isimportant to the patients outcome.
Proper positioning facilitates preoperativeskin preparation and appropriate drapingwith sterile drapes.
7/30/2019 prep, dressing, draping the patient
3/60
Positioning requires a detailed knowledge of
anatomy and physiologic principles, asfamiliarity with the necessary equipment.
Safety is a prime consideration.

Factors:
Age
Weight
Cardiopulmonary status
Pre-existing disease
7/30/2019 prep, dressing, draping the patient

Pre-op patients should be assessed:
For alteration in skin integrity
Joint mobility
Vascular prosthesis

Main Objective for Positioning
Optimize surgical site exposure for thesurgeon
Minimize risk for adverse physiologic effects
Facilitate physiologic monitoring by theanesthesia
Promote safety and security for the patient

Responsibility for Patient
Positioning
Surgeon selects surgical position in
consultation with the anesthesia provider
Circulator or first assistant responsible for
placing the patient in a surgical position
7/30/2019 prep, dressing, draping the patient

In essence, patient positioning is a sharedresponsibility among all team members.
The anesthesia provider has the final word onpositioning when the patients physiologicstatus and monitoring are in questioning.

Factors that influence the time at
which the patient is positioned
Site of the surgical procedure
Age and size of the patient
Technique of anesthesia administration If the patient is conscious
Pain on moving
*The patient is not moved, positioned, orprepped until the anesthesia provider indicatesit is safe to do so.

10/60
Preparation for Positioning
1. Review the proposed position by referring tothe position book and the surgeonspreference card in comparison with thescheduled procedure.
2. Ask the surgeon for guidance and assistanceif unsure how to position the patient.
3. Check the working parts of the operatingbed before bringing the patient into theroom.
7/30/2019 prep, dressing, draping the patient

4. Assemble and check all table attachments andprotective pads anticipated for surgicalprocedure
5. Review the plan of care for unique needs of thepatient.

Safety Measures
1. The patient is properly identified beforebeing transferred to the operating bed, andthe surgical site is affirmed according tofacility policy.
2. The patient is assessed for mobility status.
3. The operating bed and transport vehicle are
securely locked in position, with themattress stabilized during transfer to andfrom the operating bed.
7/30/2019 prep, dressing, draping the patient
16/60
4. Two persons should assist an awake patientwith the transfer by positioning themselves
on each side of the patient transfer path.5. Adequate assistance in lifting unconscious,
anesthetized, obese, or weak patients is
necessary to prevent injury.6. The anesthesia provider guards the head of
the anesthetized patient at all times andsupports it during movement.
7. The physician assumes responsibility forprotecting unsplinted fracture duringmovement.
7/30/2019 prep, dressing, draping the patient
17/60
8. The anesthetized patient is not movedwithout permission of the anesthesia
provider.9. The anesthetized patient is moved slowly and
gently to allow circulatory system to adjust
and to control the body during movement.10. No body part should extend beyond the
edges of the operating bed or contact metalparts or unpadded surfaces.
11. Body exposure should be minimal to preventhypothermia and preserve dignity.
7/30/2019 prep, dressing, draping the patient
18/60
12. Movement & positioning should notobstruct or dislodge catheters, IV infusion
tubing, oxygen cannulas and monitors.13. The armboard is protected to avoid
hyperextending the arm or dislodging the IV
cannula.14. When patient is supine, the ankles and legs
must not be crossed.
15. When patient is prone, the thorax is relievedof pressure by using chest rolls to facilitatechest expansion with respiration.
7/30/2019 prep, dressing, draping the patient
19/60
16. When patient is positioned lateral, a pillow isplaced lengthwise between the legs to preventpressure over bony prominences, blood vesselsand nerves. This also relieves pressure on thesuperior hip.
17. During articulation of the operating bed, the
patient is protected from crash injury at the flexpoints of the operating bed.
18. When the bed is elevated, the patients feet &
protuberant parts are protected from compressionof over-bed tables, mayo stands & frames.
19. Surfaces should not create pressure on body parts

Anatomic and Physiologic
Considerations
1. Respiratory Considerations
*Unhindered diaphragmatic movement and apatent airway are essential for maintainingrespiratory function, preventing hypoxia, andfacilitating induction by inhalation.
*Chest excursion is a concern, becauseinspiration expands chest anteriorly.
7/30/2019 prep, dressing, draping the patient
21/60
Considerations
Some hypoxia is always present in horizontalposition.
There should be no constriction around theneck or chest.
Patients arms must be on the sides notcrossed on the chest
7/30/2019 prep, dressing, draping the patient
22/60
2. Circulatory Considerations
*Adequate arterial circulation is necessary formaintaining blood pressure, perfusing tissueswith oxygen, facilitating venous return, andpreventing thrombus prevention.
Occlusion and pressure on the peripheral bloodvessels are avoided.
Body restraints must not be fasten too tightly. Some drugs can cause constriction or dilatation
of blood vessels.
7/30/2019 prep, dressing, draping the patient
23/60
3. Peripheral Nerve Consideration
*Prolonged pressure on or stretching of the
peripheral nerves can result in injuries that rangefrom sensory and motor loss to paralysis andwasting.
Most common sites of injuries: Brachial plexus
Ulnar
Radial Peroneal
Facial nerve

4. Musculoskeletal Considerations When turning a patient, always keep the spine in
alignment by grasping the shoulder girdle andhip in a rolling fashion
Do not turn or elevate a patient by grasping onthe hip and twisting the spine
7/30/2019 prep, dressing, draping the patient
25/60
5. Soft Tissue Consideration
*Body weight is distributed unevenly when thepatient lies on the operating bed. Weight that isconcentrated over bony prominence can causeskin ulcers and deep tissue injury. These areas
should be protected from constant pressureagainst hard surfaces.
*Wrinkled sheet and the edges of a positioningor other device under the patient can cause
pressure on the skin.Consideration:
Gel pads are preferred
7/30/2019 prep, dressing, draping the patient
26/60
6. Accessibility of the Surgical Site
The surgical procedure & patient considerationdetermine the position in which the patient is
placed.
*To minimize trauma and operating time, the
surgeon must have adequate exposure of thesurgical site.
7/30/2019 prep, dressing, draping the patient
27/60
7. Accessibility for Anesthetic Administration
*The anesthesia provider should be able toattach monitoring electrodes, administer theanesthetic and observe its effects, and maintain
IV access. *The patients airway is of prime concern and
must be patent and accessible at all times.
8. Individual Positioning Consideration
