Over the past 20 years, more than 300 patients have been anesthetized in the lateral sitting position during neurosurgical procedures in the posterior fossa and the cervical and upper thoracic spine. Since the patient can be placed quickly and easily in the horizontal position, the lateral sitting position has a number of advantages over the conventional sitting position, particularly in the treatment of arterial hypotension and venous air embolism. Furthermore, with the patient in the lateral horizontal position, the surgical procedure can be completed satisfactorily.
在过去20年里，超过300例患者在颅后窝以及颈椎和上胸椎的神经外科手术中采用侧卧位麻醉。由于患者可以快速轻松地置于水平位，侧卧位相较于传统坐位具有诸多优势，尤其是在治疗动脉低血压和静脉空气栓塞方面。此外，患者处于侧卧位时，手术能够圆满完成。
