3. Install upper leg proning packs:
• Position packs across patient's thighs. In the case of a shorter patient, position upper leg packs across
patient's shins as described previously. Refer to illustration below to determine placement of packs on
different patients. Avoid, if possible, direct placement on patient's knees.
Ensure invasive lines and tubes are not bent, compressed or kinked after upper leg proning pack
placement.
Positioning proning packs directly over patient's knees may increase risks of skin
breakdown on or hyperextension of the knees.
