3. Prone Position.
4. It is recommended that a minimum of four staff will
be required to turn the patient from the Supine to
the Prone position.
• The anaesthetist or most senior member of the
team should be positioned at the head end of the
bed and will co-ordinate the turning procedure.
This person will also be responsible for the safety
of the patient’s head, neck and ventilation tubing.
• The other members of the team will help safeguard
all lines, and assist with the turning procedure as
directed.
Before commencing the turn, it is recommended that all non-essential lines
and monitoring equipment are disconnected.
5. With the patient in the Supine or Prone positions,
the mattress controls can be configured as follows:
• Set the Head Section Deflate Control to
TriCell
Head Section Deflate
(where the 3 Head cells are
fully deflated, and the Shoulder Support Cell is
fully inflated to support the patient’s shoulders)
which can assist with intubation and insertion of
central monitoring lines.
• Open individual Vent Valves (on the seven Torso
cells, four Thigh cells and five
Heelguard
cells) to
allow single cell deflation to assist with pressure
area care and patient management, including
everyday interventions such as CXR imaging.
Cell 4 Head Section Cells
(1 - 3) Fully Deflated
WARNING
Vent Valve Restrictions. For periods longer than 10 minutes, have
no more than 4 cells deflated at any one time (excluding the three
cells in the Head Section).
