Rose position

Rose position is a position in which a patient is placed while undergoing a tonsillectomy,[1] adenoidectomy or uvulopalatopharyngoplasty.[2]

Position

In this position both the head and neck are extended. This is done by keeping a sand bag under the supine patient's shoulder blade. For a patient with a kyphosis or a stiff neck, the head piece of the table is raised so that the head ring really does support the head. Its contraindicated in patients with Down syndrome owing to atlanto-axial instability.[3]

History

This position owes its name to a staff nurse named Rose who suggested this position to the surgeon.[4]
