Precision Positioning
The iON ESPS™ (Ergonomic Surgical Positioning System)
The Arm Adducted Surgical Position
• daVinci robotic surgery
• ENT: ear nose and throat
• Neurosurgical cases
• Cervical spine (anterior/posterior)
• Craniotomies
• Cardiac Surgery
• Many other general surgical cases
AORN Standards and Disclaimers
Recommended practices for positioning the patient in the perioperative practice
setting states:
1. The patient’s arms should not be tucked at his or her sides when positioned in a
supine position unless it is necessary for surgical reasons.
2. There is an increased risk for tissue injury and compartment syndrome in the
upper extremity when the patient’s arms are tucked tightly at his or her sides
with sheets.
3. There are increased risks for interference with physiologic monitoring (eg, blood
pressure monitoring, arterial catheter monitoring) and unrecognized IV
infiltration, which may interfere with delivery of intraoperative anesthesia
medications and resuscitation efforts during an emergency.
4. If the patient’s arms are not tucked tightly enough, there is a risk for them to
become unsecured during the procedure.
5. Aligning the patient properly, redistributing pressure, protecting the patient
from tissue and nerve injuries, preserving IV access and physiological monitoring,
and providing appropriate exposure for the procedure are all important
considerations for safe and effective patient positioning.

Positioning and Injury Statistics
• Obesity rate currently 35.7% (CDC)
• Nerve injuries account for 15% of post-operative litigation
• Injury incidence 1:215 patients (ulnar)
• Closed Claims per injury: $34,375- $75,000
• Nursing back injuries cost $16 billion annually
• Medical treatment, “light work days,” and turnover cost the industry another $10 billion annually
• Arm adduction positioning takes 5-15 minutes on avg.
Problem One: Variability of Positioning
Problem Two: Poor Utilization of Staff and Time
