Protecting patients from positioning-related injuries is a core responsibility of every anesthesia provider. This course delivers a clear, clinically focused guide to understanding the physiologic, neurologic, and mechanical challenges associated with all major surgical positions—including supine variations, prone, lithotomy, lateral decubitus, and Fowler’s. You’ll learn how to identify high-risk patients, prevent common nerve and pressure injuries, anticipate hemodynamic and respiratory changes, and apply evidence-based strategies that keep patients safe throughout the perioperative period. This is essential foundational knowledge for optimizing outcomes in any surgical setting.
