Lateral Positioning For Lumbar & Thoracic Spine Surgery And Procedures - Mizuhosi 5943 Manuel Du Propriétaire

6.0 LATERAL POSITIONING FOR LUMBAR & THORACIC SPINE SURGERY AND
PROCEDURES
A variety of surgical procedures in the lateral decubitus position may be performed on
the Radiolucent Imaging Top according to the following procedures:
1. Lock the table base in position by engaging the (4) caster locks.
2. Verify that the table controls are locked.
6.1 5890/5891 Modular Table Bases
1. Engage the patient transfer safety locks at both the head and foot end columns (see
section 3.0, Figures 13 and 14).
2. Set the rotational friction controls to maximum friction at both the head and foot end
columns (see section 3.0, Figures 13 and 15).
3. Engage the 25° rotation stop (see section 3, Figure 16).
6.2 5892/5803 Advanced Control Bases
1. Confirm the rotation safety lock switch is illuminated (see section 3.0, Figure 24).
2. Confirm rotation lock indicator light is illuminated (see section 3.0, Figure 24).
3. Confirm the tilt drive status indicator is illuminated (see section 3.0, Figure 24).
6.2.1 The Radiolucent Imaging Top should be coupled at the fifth or sixth
mounting hole below the centerline of the crossbar for lateral procedures
(see section 3.0, Figure 20).
The Radiolucent Imaging Top must be coupled with the center of gravity of the
patient below the centerline of the crossbars when the patient is positioned
laterally. Failure to do so may make the patient unstable during lateral rotation
(see Figure 20).
6.2.2 Transfer the patient to a supine position on the Radiolucent Imaging Top;
apply a patient safety strap and secure.
6.2.3 Roll the patient on his or her side. Stabilize and maintain the patient in the
lateral decubitus position by means of at least two (2) patient safety straps
or a lateral positioning device such as the Mizuho OSI P/N 5300 Lateral
Positioner or the Mizuho OSI P/N 5301 Deluxe Lateral Positioner (see
Figure 31). You may wish to use standard positioning aids, e.g., pillows,
an axillary roll and foam or gel padding for additional patient stability and
comfort.
