Lower Limb Section 3 Ergonomic Setup.mp4

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Ergonomic positioning is essential for ultrasound-guided injections. Practitioners should be close to the patient, with easy access to the transducer and a clear view of the ultrasound display. Patient comfort is also important, with consideration of their posture, pillows to accommodate any physical limitations, and different positions (prone or lateral decubitus) for easier access to injection sites. Prone position is preferred as it allows easy access to multiple sites on the lower limb without repositioning the patient, improving both comfort and procedural efficiency. If prone position is not possible, the lateral decubitus position can be used as an alternative.
