In the lithotomy position, legs should be placed in stirrups one - at - a - time to prevent sudden hypotension due to a large volume of blood shifting from the lower extremities. Placing legs simultaneously can cause hemodynamic instability. Arms can be placed on an arm board (if not restricted by the procedure) and hips should be placed over the lower break of the table for proper exposure.
