anterior approach. The foam
padding over the forehead
and chin supports the
patient's head. Make sure the
strap's not too tight on the
foam headrest once the
patient is sitting up; a too-
tight strap could hyperextend
the neck. You also want to
make sure the endotracheal
tube doesn't get snagged on
the bed or IV pole as you sit
the patient up. Though we
can't see it, the patient's
opposite arm is protected
with egg crate and wrapped
in a sheet. Finally, when the
Mayo stand in the back-
ground is moved over the
patient's abdomen to hold the
camera, shaver and other
tools, be sure it doesn't
squish the patient.
