The Electric-Epidural Positioning Device (E-EPD) is an excellent tool to provide optimal patient positioning for epidural and other spinal anesthetic procedures.
♦ The battery operated ergonomics are receiving rave reviews from practitioners! While making adjustments, it is important to take care with the proximity of the patient's knees to other moving parts (i.e. arm rest).
♦ It is important that the E-EPD provide a multitude of height adjustments to fit a wide variety of body types. It is more important to keep the patient safe and make sure their extremities are protected when adjusting their position.
♦ Best-Practice TIP: placing the practitioner's hand on the patient's knee while adjusting foot plate height. You will feel the arm rest on the back of your hand and prevent inadvertent pressure on the patient's knees.
