22
Sidelying
slight to moderate flexion of one or both hips to add stability pillows under head, between the legs, and a small pillow or bolster under waist. Under arm positioned forward.
23
Sitting
Hips fully back and centered in the chair If necessary a small bolster or towel roll can be placed behind the back Raising and supporting the feet helps maintain lumbar spine and reduces pressure on thighs. Armrests - at right height for shoulders If leaning forward cushion head to lean on supporting surface.
24
Trendelenburg position
HOB lower than foot of bed. Supine. treat hypotensive episodes.
25
For obese hypotensive patients
Raising the legs without doing a full Trendelenburg may help without causing breathing difficulties.
26
Immobility and Integumentary system
Decreased perfusion to skin skin breakdown
27
immobility and Musculoskeletal
Pain Joint and tissue contracture Calcium loss Deconditioning Balance impairment Compression
28
Immobility and Cardiopulmonary
Peripheral edema Aerobic deconditioning Decreased air exchange Cardiopulmonary compromise
29
Immobility and Neurological
Vestibular impairment Neuromuscular deconditioning
30
Immobility and other
Urinary infection Depression
31
Primary objective of long term positionoing
prevent negative effects of long-term immobility and promote overall well-being.
32
Fowler's Postion
head of bed elevated to 45 degrees to 60
33
Low Fowler's postion
HOB elevated to 30 to 45 degrees.
34
sidelying position and lungs
can promote drainage of lungs.
35
High Fowler's postion
HOB 80 or 90 degrees.
36
Immobile joints
cause stiffness and decreased ROM
37
Contractures
limitations in joint movement caused by adaptive shortening in the ligaments, tendons, and muscles.
38
DVT
deep vein thrombosis Localized pain, warmth, redness and swelling.
39
embolus
thrombus that has broken loose. May lodge in pulmonary artery.
40
Pressure Injury
Bed sore 2.5 million a year in the U.S. 60,000 deaths. Ischemia caused. deep tissue tolerate pressure for two hours or less.
41
Pressure injury Load Pressure and time
Load: The load is the patient's body weight Pressure: the surface area over which the pressure is distributed. Increasing the surface area decreases the pressure. Time: even a low load over a lengthy enough time can cause breakdown.
42
Heal pressure
particularly vulnerable to pressure sores do to small area and thinness of tissue over calcaneus.
43
Sacrum pressure
Another particularly vulnerable site to pressure sores
44
Friction and shear`
moving patients in bed by pulling or sliding them can create friction and shearing forces between the layers of the skin. Lead to sores.
45
High risk areas for skin breakdown supine
Occiput scapulae spinous processes elbows sacrum/coccyx Ischial tuberosities Lateral malleoli Heels
46
High risk areas for skin breakdown prone
Ear/side of face chin anterior surface of shoulders Iliac crests and anterior superior iliac spines of the pelvis anterior of knees dorsal of feet
47
High risk area for skin breakdown of sidelying
Ear or side of face Humeral head Hip or greater trochanter Lateral femoral condyle - inferior legs Medial femoral condyles both legs. lateral malleolus (outside ankle) Medial malleolus (both ankles)
48
High risk areas sitting of skin breakdown
Occiput - high backed chair scapulae spinous processes Elbows sacrum ischial tuberosities heels
49
blanching test
how quickly pressed on skin turns back to pink.
50
Redness rule
redness that persists more than 20 min after pressure relief indicates that the body has not yet recovered from previous pressure load.
51
Fowler's position point of pressure
sacrum Low fowler's is recommended
52
Repositioning
standard practice for relieving pressure
53
Longest in one position
2 hours.
54
Long term positioning supine
knees are only slightly flexed to prevent contracture. additional cushioning may be necessary for scapulae and head if immobile. place pillows under calves to suspend heels. Means to call for help.
55
Patient's trunk rotation in long term positioning of sidelying
if trunk is forward place pillow in front of patient If trunk is back place pillow behind patient. place superior arm on pillow in in a nearly extended position.
56
sacral sitting
increased risk of breakdown
57
Hip replacement positioning
no hip flexion beyond 70 to 90 degree No hip adduction beyond 0 degree No internal rotation beyond 0 degree
58
Pattern of tightness after CVA can include:
Scapular retraction shoulder adduction, flexion, and internal rotation Elbow, wrist and finger flexion Hip adduction, flexion and internal rotation Knee flexion Ankle plantar flexion
59
CVA positioning recomendations
sitting up or sidelying on non-hemiparetic side Supine with HOB flat is not recommended Sidelying on hemiparetic side is rarely recommended .
60
Supine after CVA
Elevate HOB 30 degree Pillow under affected shoulder blade Head neck and trunk in neutral alignment elevate the flaccid arm Use pillows to guard against knee flexion and elevate wrist and hand of affected side.
61
avoid contractures in LE amputations
for transfemoral amputation - Occasional positioning in prone helps prevent flexion contractures. For transtibial do keep hips in neutral rotation, do extend the knee do minimize sitting time with knee flexed. Do not let residual limb hang. Do not place pillow under thigh Do not place pillow under low back. Do not allow knees to be flexed for long periods Do not allow patient to cross legs for long periods.
62
Heel suspension braces or boots
prevent breakdown
63
restraint
any device, material or manual method that limits a client's ability to move the arms, legs, body or head freely. only be used as a last resort under orders.
