Rolled
Rolled (/rəʊld/), from the Old English rollian, is a term often used in the medical field to describe a certain action or condition. It is most commonly associated with the action of turning or moving something around an axis or center, or the condition of being turned or moved in such a way.
Medical Usage
In medical terminology, the term "rolled" is often used to describe the action of turning or moving a patient or a part of the patient's body around an axis or center. This is often done in order to perform certain medical procedures or examinations, or to prevent complications such as pressure ulcers or bedsores.
For example, a patient may be "rolled" onto their side in order to perform a lumbar puncture, or they may be "rolled" onto their back in order to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
In addition, the term "rolled" can also refer to the condition of a patient's body part being turned or moved in a certain way. For example, a patient's ankle may be described as being "rolled" if it has been turned or twisted in a way that causes injury, such as a sprain or strain.
