POSITIONNEMENT SÉCURITAIRE POUR LES PATIENTS EN NEUROCHIRURGIE
Résumé
Le positionnement d’un patient lors d’une intervention chirurgicale joue un rôle important dans les soins périopératoires, rôle méritant d’être souligné. La combinaison des facteurs du temps, pression mécanique et immobilité augmente le risque de lésions des tissus.
L’objectif des activités de positionnement périopératoire est d’équilibrer les besoins d’accès chirurgical et la prévention de toute blessure liée au positionnement, tout en maintenant l’alignement normal du corps, c’està- dire sans flexion, extension ou rotation excessives.
Suivant les principes généraux de positionnement, certaines préoccupations quant au raisonnement chirurgical sont présentées pour chacune des positions neurologiques les plus courantes (sur le dos, genoux à la poitrine, sur le ventre, latéral, banc, assis, par exemple).
