Prone positioning is the act of placing a patient face-down. While this sounds like a seemingly simple task, healthcare professionals know proning a patient can be an incredibly complex maneuver that includes risks for both the staff and the patient. In the ICU as many as 8 staff members gather in a patient room to manually reposition a patient to the prone position – risking both injury to themselves and increasing the risk of exposure to a patient. Patient risks can be even more serious and include decannulation, endotrachael tube obstruction, accidental extubation, and skin breakdown.

Through our range of clinical support services and a broad product portfolio that offers staff safety, infection control, and flexibility of care, Arjo helps to empower staff to provide the level of care that critically-ill patients demand.
