The effect of patient positions on perfusion index

摘要: The optimal position for surgery is one in which the patient provided best possible surgical intervention and put at minimum risk. Different positions may cause changes tissue perfusion. This study investigates relationship between perfusion index. A sample of 61 healthy individuals with no peripheral circulatory disorders, chronic diseases, or anemia was included this study. Participants held six different positions: supine, prone, 45-degree sitting-supine, supine legs lifted, Trendelenburg (45-degrees head down), reverse up). Perfusion index values were then measured recorded after their five minutes. Participants’ affected by body (p < 0.05). lowest sitting (4.5 ± 2.5) highest (7.8 ± 3.8). can should be considered follow-up along
