Effect of Body Mass on Oxygenation and Intra-Abdominal Pressure When Using a Jackson Surgical Table in the Prone Position During Lumbar Surgery

Conclusion. Turning patients from the supine to the prone position during anesthesia results in an increase in the oxygenation index and a decrease in IAP. Both of these factors are dependent upon the type of surgical frame used and the patient's BMI. The reduction in IAP was particularly significant when a Jackson surgical table was used for overweight patients. Level of Evidence: 4
