Abstract
Prevention of Complications Related to Patient Prone Positioning during Spinal Neurosurgical Care: A Nursing Point of View
Patient positioning on the operating table is an important moment of perioperative nursing care. It is a procedure routinely performed and is often underestimated. The importance of this procedure should never be underestimated because several factors as immobility, time of surgery and synergistic effect of mechanical pressure and anesthesia, con cause tissue damage.
