Chest Packs; Completion Of Patient Placement - Arjohuntleigh RotoProne User Manual

Chest Packs

1. Place chest pack accessory across patient's torso (even with top of shoulder).
2. Position chest packs across patient's upper torso (even with top of shoulder), as high as possible without
contacting head support.
DO NOT place chest packs over upper abdomen. Placement of the chest packs should allow for
abdominal expansion during proning.
Make sure chest packs and chest pack accessory allow proper chest expansion to enable
ventilation. If not, chest pack accessory may be flattened by removing one or more of the foam
inserts within the pack, or entire accessory may be removed completely.
Ensure invasive lines and tubes are not bent, compressed or kinked after chest proning pack
placement.
- Ensure there is adequate clearance
between the top of chest pack or chest
pack accessory and the bottom of head
pack, as shown at right.
• Fasten pack buckles and ensure chest pack
accessory is laying flat once buckles are
secured.

Completion of Patient Placement
