The correct positioning of the patient is a crucial factor in the preparation for surgery, which also contributes to the success of the operation. Positioning injuries, which are the consequences of improper positioning, often lead to claims for damages and medical liability lawsuits. In this book, an experienced surgical nurse describes the positions needed for the most common procedures in trauma surgery and orthopedics. The clear structure, uniform layout, and illustrative representation of each position in specially edited photos allow for both in-depth engagement with the positioning techniques and quick access just before the operation. A practical working guide is a valuable aid in the daily routine of surgery.
