Patient Positioning

01/01/2006 - "The use of high-resolution dedicated cameras for breast imaging is the best option to improve small cancers' detection: they allow greater flexibility in patient positioning, and the availability of projections similar to those of mammography. "
07/15/2004 - "We perceived an enormous potential in improved and individualized patient positioning for fractionated radiotherapy and also for stereotactic extracranial radiotherapy and radiosurgery, especially for tumors of the liver and pancreas."
10/01/1983 - "Parathyroid computed tomographic (CT) scanning using a specially designed patient positioning harness, bolus contrast administration, and dynamic scanning significantly improved localization of parathyroid tumors from 45% (19/42) to 76% (35/46) (p less than 0.01) over conventional CT scanning. "
12/01/2011 - "Recent advances in radiotherapy allow for improved tumor targeting and daily patient positioning. "
05/01/1988 - "The lack of induced artifact from the immobilization cast, improved delineation of tumor extension from normal anatomy and the ability to image in arbitrary planes without changing patient positioning favor the use of MR over CT for radiation therapy planning in the head and neck, while ensuring reproducibility of the treatment plan at subsequent therapy sessions."

01/01/2017 - "Furthermore, management of a maternal cardiopulmonary arrest requires important modifications in patient positioning and intravenous access to ensure adequate efficacy of chest compressions, circulation, and airway management. "
08/01/2001 - "Management of prone cardiac arrest may be improved by identification of high-risk patients, careful patient positioning, use of invasive monitoring and placement of self-adhesive defibrillator paddles. "
10/06/2016 - "A case of asystole from carotid sinus hypersensitivity during patient positioning for thyroidectomy."
10/06/2016 - "The time proximity between patient positioning and asystole, the late responsiveness to atropine, the immediate increase of heart rate after head elevation and the lack of any other trigger factor or prior history support the hypothesis of carotid sinus syndrome. "

06/01/2012 - "3D surface image guidance (3D SIG) has been shown to improve patient positioning accuracy in the treatment of breast cancer, but limited information is available regarding the dosimetric consequences of setup tolerances associated with breast radiation therapy techniques. "
10/01/2020 - "This study confirms ABS offers improvements in efficiency without sacrificing contour quality in the early stage breast cancer patient population and demonstrates the functionality of ABS with prone patient positioning."
07/01/1999 - "The objective of the study was to determine the accuracy of patient positioning in radiotherapy for breast cancer. "
02/15/1993 - "To study the accuracy of patient positioning in irradiation of breast cancer. "
06/01/2022 - "Conventionally, tattoos and temporary skin marks are used in patient positioning procedures for breast cancer radiotherapy. "

01/01/2023 - "Effect of ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block on pain during patient positioning for central nervous blockade in hip surgery: a randomized controlled trial."
07/01/2022 - "USG-guided FNB and LFCNB can be used as an effective supplementation to SAB in patients undergoing surgery for IT fracture of the femur as it reduces fracture site pain, provides good patient positioning during SAB, and prolongs postoperative analgesia."
03/01/2022 - "Alternative patient positioning may be considered, and perioperative pain control should not be overlooked."
06/01/2021 - "We describe the relevance of surgical anatomy, the effect of patient positioning, irrigating fluids, various anaesthetic techniques and an overview of regional and medical interventions to manage pain in patients undergoing for Rotator Cuff (RC) surgery."
10/01/2020 - "Work-related musculoskeletal disorders and pain can be reduced through proper operator-patient positioning, taking adequate breaks between patients, maintaining good physical health through regular exercises."

10/01/2015 - "Postoperative pain and neuromuscular complications associated with patient positioning after robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: a retrospective non-placebo and non-randomized study."
08/01/2004 - "Improper patient positioning, muscle division, perioperative nerve injury, rib spreading, and consequent postoperative pain influence the patient's postoperative shoulder function and quality of life. "
01/01/2023 - "Positive outcomes of PENG block in patient positioning pain before spinal anesthesia, postoperative pain scores, and morphine consumption are consistent with similar studies. "
