Summary
This study introduces a new patient positioning technique for extended hand surgeries performed under regional anesthesia. The modified approach ensures greater patient comfort during lengthy surgical procedures.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Anesthesiology
- Surgical Positioning
Context:
- Long-term hand surgeries under regional anesthesia require optimal patient positioning for surgeon access and patient comfort.
- Existing positioning methods may lead to discomfort during extended procedures.
Purpose:
- To describe a modified patient positioning technique for improved comfort during long-term hand surgeries under regional anesthesia.
Summary:
- A novel positioning strategy involves leveling the hand and operating table, tilting the table 10-15 degrees towards the hand, and abducting the upper limb 30-40 degrees with outward rotation.
- This technique aims to enhance patient comfort and tolerance for prolonged surgical durations.
Impact:
- The modified positioning technique offers a practical solution for improving patient experience in hand surgery.
- This may lead to better surgical outcomes by ensuring patient comfort and stability throughout the operation.
