Tightness of pack straps will vary according to each patient's needs. Straps need to be as tight as
can be tolerated, as patient will shift into the prone packs and away from the patient surface when
moved into prone position.
4. Install pelvic proning packs:
• Position packs across patient's lower abdomen or hips.
Ensure invasive lines and tubes are not bent, compressed or kinked after pelvic proning pack
placement.
DO NOT place pelvic proning packs over the upper abdomen. Placement of the pelvic packs should
allow for abdominal expansion during proning.

Assess Patient Position

1. Patient's ears should still be aligned with the openings in head support.
2. Foot support boards should be positioned to keep patient's feet properly supported and to prevent
patient from sliding down toward the foot of the unit and out of proper head support alignment.

Face Pack

Face pack should only be used if the patient is to be proned. It is recommended that the face pack
be removed at all times that patient is in the supine position.
1. Position face pack on patient's face. Align top of opening in pack
with patient's eyebrows, as shown at right.
Face pack should be positioned as low on the patient's
brow as possible without causing pressure on or around the
patient's eyes, nose or mouth.
