It is not about positions you can play through career. Or other more-or more distant positions.
No, this is about body positions. In the operating room. And mine is on my rare, but always immensely popular surgical operations, have noticed how expensive sets itself up as an Opera, first and second assistant. So actually intraoperatively to the physical location of the doctor.
In my (not evidence-based) examination, various positions and correlating types can be distinguished.
Straight-A
The dynamic operator (preferably head or senior doctor) is very upright, legs apart just slightly right on the operating table, knees and back straight. Did everything correctly in view and at any time is the situation. This position can be retained in the longer term.
Broad-A
The less dynamic (because sometimes under) called assistant doctor is clearly wide-legged as the operator. Thus it is may view the level slightly lower than the surgeon, but can still see everything important, in the "emergency" support but also at the table with the lower body (Caution, may be painful to hide under the cover sheet metal parts of the table). This position can be long sustained. It is varied with some colleagues by hyperlordosis, but it can make properly train on the facet joints and afterwards in postop bad back pain. can be felt (or maybe I'm wrong and I have really something structural in the back).
Locked-In
My personal favorite position. Leg Halted Broad-A, but an inversion and slight supination of both feet, thus limiting the knee fixed in extension, without having to focus too much must. I have often had it that the stability of the knee insufficient was, and who have suddenly given way. Dangerous if you then stumbles off the table. With locked-in, the m. E. not happen. To prevent unsightly supination and train on the lateral ankle bands, I recommend an additional internal rotation of the hips.
Sideways
The expression used by the surgeon is often "pure challenge. Is (necessarily) be used when two assistants are on one side and from the conquered, who stands at the patient's arm. Since he has no choice, he is not related to the wide side, but only with his side profile to the table, leaning (cave trochanteric bursitis).
If you have wide impact in the level is, the longer endure. Then sometimes alternating one leg. Can I also assume when you are alone on one side, then you can stretch out the feet better or fold. Main problem is the somewhat limited view (in the fencing position anyway).
Over the top
My most hated position, because the power really back. The surgeon is seated, the assistant leans over the leg forward, which is operated on the side facing away from him. No matter how it turns and turns, this necessarily be occupied position is definitely not pleasant.
easy rider
Sounds good, is good. The second assistant of the hip in one hand, the easy rider hooks his feet on the stage is set as desired, and (because it does nothing anyway) and certainly in a position to observe everything possible to others. Disadvantage: It looks really nothing of the OP. Niente! Already badly. But
pleasant to endure. If it ever must be, to be enjoyed's at least. Who knows, already, when over-the-top flourishes again.
Inbetween
also not very popular, the "jump" between the legs of the patient in preparation for the anastomosis. Alternatively, to call it Bottom cloth. As one can share, but the air down there is really not good. And then one is also sterile.
one leg, as a variation of the above like to use to relieve their own bruised joints. Since this leads to increased stress on the other joint, a two-way game is recommended.
I think this would be the most common. Now should not only think, we Flez in the operating room just kind of rum Sun Sterility is and will always the first concern. But when 4, 6, sometimes 8 hours a piece needs to stand in need sometimes alternatives on the table. For it is indeed the case that (especially if you do not own the surgeon's) began after a few hours, the patient's own bone to notice. Since they are pleased about each X-ray image, because the movement means.
