More on pre-emptive positioning
Posted by Clark Venable on 11/20/2005
A fellow anesthesiologist wrote a reply to my post about pre-emptive positioning with the following:
"We've started doing the same thing at my surgicenter. At first I thought it was pretty ballsy when one of my colleagues suggested that we do simple one level laminectomies under LMA general and induce in the prone position. But now that we've started it I am very comfortable with the idea."
I'm not ready to try this yet (do you want to be my first patient?). Lateral or semi-sitting to supine is a matter of seconds. Prone to supine would take significantly longer I believe. Other experiences?
