Article Synopsis
- Spinal surgeries often require patients to lie face down, which can raise intra-abdominal pressure and lead to complications during and after the procedure.
- A case study involving a 74-year-old woman undergoing two spine surgeries showed that using an Allen table resulted in lower intra-abdominal pressure (mean 13.8 mmHg) compared to gel pads (mean 24 mmHg).
- The findings suggest that proper positioning of patients on the abdomen, particularly using the Allen table, may help reduce intra-abdominal pressure and potentially lower the risk of complications in prone surgeries.
