“…In another study, periorbital edema, puffiness in the lips, and contact dermatitis in the face have been mentioned as associated with the prone position in GA (13). Muscles are relaxed under GA in the prone position, such that shoulder and cervical dislocations have been mentioned (2,27). In addition, optic neuropathy and blindness have been reported (8,10).…”

“…Moreover, damage to the lingual, buccal, and supraorbital nerve, phrenic nerve damage due to extension and rotation of neck, damage to the dorsal nerve of the penis, and recurrent laryngeal nerve damage have also been reported (11,23,30,31). In addition, in the prone position under GA, face, ear, breast, and genital injuries can occur, as well as skin necrosis (1,(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28). In another study, periorbital edema, puffiness in the lips, and contact dermatitis in the face have been mentioned as associated with the prone position in GA (13).…”

AIm:To compare the safety and efficacy of spinal anesthesia (SA) in patients undergoing lumbar microdiscectomy (LM). mAterIAl and methOds:We evaluated 180 patients who underwent LM between 1 January 2012 and 5 July 2013. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and pre-, intra-, and postoperative information was determined from the patients' medical records. results:Total anesthetic times were longer in the general anesthesia (GA) group. There was less bleeding at the surgical site in the SA group. Intraoperative blood pressure was significantly also lower in the SA group. Meanwhile, tachycardia was significantly higher in the GA group. The analgesic requirement in post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) was higher in the general anesthesia group. At PACU admission, analgesic requirement, heart rate, and the mean arterial pressure were higher in the GA group. Postoperative nausea and vomiting was more frequent among patients recovering in general anesthesia group. SA patients had an increased incidence of urinary retention compared with GA patients. Pulmonary complications requiring specific treatment were insignificantly higher among GA patients. COnClusIOn:In patients who undergo lumbar disc surgery, SA is a good alternative for experienced surgeons because of a more comfortable healing process.

“…Dislocation injuries of the cervical spine seem to be extremely uncommon; two patients are described with pre-existing cervical spine dislocations who were nursed on a Stryker Frame and whose dislocations recurred when turned from supine to prone. 174 However, de novo dislocation has not been described.…”

Prone positioning of patients during anaesthesia is required to provide operative access for a wide variety of surgical procedures. It is associated with predictable changes in physiology but also with a number of complications, and safe use of the prone position requires an understanding of both issues. We have reviewed the development of the prone position and its variants and the physiological changes which occur on prone positioning. The complications associated with this position and the published techniques for various practical procedures in this position will be discussed. The aim of this review is to identify the risks associated with prone positioning and how these risks may be anticipated and minimized.

“…Other than the Roto-Rest only the Stoke-Egerton bed allows maintenance of skeletal alignment with turning but even this apparatus lacks the other systemic benefits of Kinetic Nursing (Guttmann, 1973). The Stryker and Circ-o-electric bed have been reported to be ineffective in the management of spinal fractures and acute spinal cord injuries (Coppola, 1977;Slabaugh & Nickel, 1978). Of special importance in the acute spinal cord injury patient was the significant degree of reduction of cardio-pulmonary complications when compared with conventionally nursed patients with these injuries (Heiden et ai., 1975).…”
