Object) The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of the axillary roll for the lateropositioning operation by measuring the body pressure. Materials and Methods) Twelve healthy volunteers had their body pressures measured at the lateral chest wall on an axillary pillow and on deltoid lesions of the dependent arm using an 8 cm high and 12 cm high (x 30 x 48 cm) low-impact urethane commercial pillow.Results) Using the 8 cm and 12 cm high pillow, the body pressures (mmHg) of the head side edge of the lateral chest wall were 30.3±7.2, 35.6±5.7, the tale side edge of the lateral chest wall were 28.1±6.0, 24.7±6.9 and the pressures of the deltoid lesions were 22.3±6.23, 22.5±8.3, respectively. The body pressure of the head side edge of the lateral wall using the 8 cm high pillow was significantly lower than that obtained using the 12 cm high pillow. (P=0.0002) In conclusion, using the 15 cm high head pillow to keep the cervical vertebra in a horizontal position and decrease the pressure of the deltoid lesions, the use of the low-impact urethane commercial pillow (8 x 30 x 48 cm) for the axillary roll showed an ideal pressure on both the lateral chest wall and the deltoid lesions in the dependent arm.
