Description

<p>We clarified the relationship between the head-down tilt in the lithotomy position and changes in body pressure. The subjects were eight healthy adult volunteers who gave consent. A pressure measurement device was laid on a fixation device with a negative pressure position, and supporters were used to stabilize the lower limbs. The body pressure on the upper body and on both lower legs was measured in a head-down tilt position from 0 to 30 degrees. The results showed that the highest body pressure at the sacral region of 30 degrees of head-down tilt had a significantly strong negative correlation with BMI (r= -0.926; p<0.05). Also, the highest body pressure on the right and left shoulders at 30 degrees of head-down tilt had no significant correlation with BMI. No significant correlation was found between BMI and maximum body pressure on the left and right shoulders at 30 degrees of head-down tilt.</p>
