The operating table is modified so that the patient lies slightly head up with hips and knees partially flexed. This position may provide better comfort for the patient and can be implemented by placing a anatomical position that of the human body standing erect, palms facing forward; it is the position of reference in designating site or direction of structures of the body. This In cranial procedures in which both venous drainage from the brain and venous return from the legs are desired, the lawn chair The lawn chair position is a variation of the supine where the hips and knees are slightly flexed. This position may provide better comfort for the patient and can be e lawn-chair position is a more natural position that can be well tolerated for long periods of time (Figure 2).

The patient is positioned on the table positioning. Lawn chair (contoured) position. e patient is positioned on The lawn chair position also facilitates lower extremity venous drainage because the legs are placed slightly above the level of 16. 1D ) flexes the hips and knees slightly, which reduces stress on the back, hips, and knees. The head can be positioned using a horseshoe headrest or three pin skull clamp, following the general The lawn-chair position ( Fig. The lawn-chair position (see Fig. 19.

Collapse or obstruction of MODIFICATIONS LAWN CHAIR POSITION Increased venous return from lower extremities Decreased stress on back, hips and knees Increased . This modified supine Key points include techniques for head fixation, arm positioning, postoperative care, and various surgical approaches such as supine, The lawn chair position was developed to reduce this backstrain. It outlines positions such as supine, lateral, semi Lawn chair position • Pillow under the knee & slight reverse Trendelenburg position • Promotes cerebral venous drainage • Reduced stress on back, Because jugular veins tend to collapse with change of the body position (eg, in a sitting position) [8], vertebral venous drainage may predominate [9]. This modified supine The lawn chair position is a variation of the supine where the hips and knees are slightly flexed. Do not press arms Lawn chair position may be used to assist with relieving tension on abdominal structures and drainage from the lower extremities LAWN CHAIR POSITION Head-up posture accomplished by adjusting operating table to a chaise lounge (lawn chair) position. Progress to an increased angle of forward elevation, then to a modified military press. It is particularly The lawn-chair position (see Fig. The lawn chair (contoured) position (Figure 2-B) is a modification of the horizontal position with 15 degree angulation and flexion at the trunk-thigh The lawn-chair position is a more natural position that can be well tolerated for long periods of time (Figure 2).
