A reverse trendelenburg is used in abdominal and gynecological surgery
Removing a central line from a hositaized patient. Reverse trendelenburg decreases the amount of blood flow returning to the heart, thus decreasing the amount of blood in the internal jugular/subclavian vein and making the removal of the line less bloody.
In the Trendelenburg position the body is laid flat back with the feet higher than the head by fifteen to thirty degree. Which is in contrast of the reverse Trendelenburg position, where the body is tilted in opposite direction.
