1. Trendelenburg position: The table is tilted so that the patient's head is lower than their feet. This position is often used during certain types of surgery, such as abdominal or pelvic procedures.
2. Reverse Trendelenburg position: The table is tilted so that the patient's head is higher than their feet. This position is often used during procedures involving the head or neck.
3. Lateral tilt: The table can be tilted to one side, allowing for better access to certain areas of the body during surgery.
4. Flexion and extension: The table can be adjusted to bend or straighten at the middle, allowing for better positioning of the patient during surgery.
5. Height adjustment: The table can be raised or lowered to accommodate the height of the surgical team and provide better access to the surgical site.
6. Rotation: The table can be rotated to allow for easier positioning of the patient during surgery.
7. Sliding: Some operating tables have the ability to slide back and forth, allowing for precise positioning of the patient during surgery.
