Twenty (46.5%) of the detected lesions in
supine position were [less than or equal to]10 mm (11 NME [55%] and 9 masses [45%]).
Fifty patients underwent
supine PCNL during the study period (group A).
Table 2 shows the mean IOP values obtained in sitting, standing, and
supine positions and statistical comparisons between these values using Wilcoxon test.
In examining the distribution of the means of the patients' hemodynamic parameters, [SPO.sub.2] and dyspnea severity in
supine, prone and orthopnea positions according to the times of intervention, variance analysis was used for the repeated measurements.
Patients are
supine for approximately 30 minutes and are essentially upright for the other 90 minutes prior to the delayed scan for pulmonary aspiration.
According to the authors, most pregnant women spend about 25 per cent of their sleep time in the
supine position, which may be a risk factor for stillbirth and low birth weight.
(12,17) Among patients with autonomic dysfunction,
supine hypertension commonly co-exists with NOH, and might exaggerate this overnight diuresis.
Results from the current study indicated that
supine position with different HOB elevations (15[degrees], 30[degrees], 45[degrees]) did not affect ICP and CPP, and these positions were safe for neurosurgical patients with different GCS scores.
After the initial assessments were completed, the subject lay
supine on an examining table for 30 min with both arms supported in the horizontal position (parallel to the floor).
First, children were kept quietly in the
supine position on the tilt table (HUT-821, Beijing Juchi, China) for 10 min, and their HR, blood pressure, and electrocardiograph were recorded by a Dash 2000 Multi-lead Physiological Monitor (General Electric, New York, USA).
Mendonca et al13 in his research study compared the outcomes of the two participants' positions (full left lateral position versus
supine position with 12 left lateral tilt) following combined spinal-epidural anesthesia using intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine and demonstrated decreased incidence of hypotension in the left lateral position (64%) in comparison to mothers positioned in the tilted
supine group (90%).
The advantages of percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) performed in the
supine position are both of an anesthesiological and urological kind.
