one of the points on the fingerboard of a stringed instrument, determining where a string is to be stopped 2. Chords whose notes are evenly or widely distributed are in open position b. Chords arranged with the three upper voices close together are in close position. In this photo, the sterile biopsy and tapping kit is laid out and the contents within displayed. the vertical spacing or layout of the written notes in a chord. These include: a sterile biopsy and tapping set, sterile gloves, disinfectant (such as ethanol 70% and betadine solution), spinal needles and syringes, sterile specimen container specific for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a manometer for measuring the CSF opening pressure and dressing materials. The photo shown above demonstrates the equipment which are required for performing a LP. The back should be perfectly perpendicular to the edge of the bed. Theoretically, it is applied in most or all intensive care units (ICUs) and it is considered a standard of care due to its advantages of. The patient is instructed to adopt a “fetal position” where the back, limbs and neck are in flexion. stabile Seitenlage erste Hilfe stabile Seitenlagerung erste Hilfe Nato-Lage erste Hilfe Nato-Lagerung erste Hilfe. Semi-recumbent position is the elevation of the head-of-bed to 30-45º and it is recommended for the prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) with almost no absolute contraindications (1). Positioning of the patient is crucial to the success in performing a LP. The patient shown in the photo here is in the left lateral recumbent position.

The lateral recumbent position is preferred because it allows accurate measurement of the opening pressure. Synonyms include lateral dependent position, lateral decubitus position, lateral recumbent position, lateral tilt, lateral rotation and sidelying. The head of the bed may also be elevated, while the patient is on his or her side. A lumbar puncture (LP) can be performed with the patient in the lateral recumbent position or sitting upright. Rotation may be between 30 and 60 degrees, but up to 90 degrees.
