"I would place the patient in the reverse
Trendelenburg position to reduce the risk of an air embolus,
although such a manoeuvre does increase venous pressure." - in the Trendelenburg position the body is laid flat on the back with feet 15-30 degrees higher than the head, in contrast to the reverse Trendelenburg position, which is the opposite. I suspect the author wanted to suggest placing the patient in Trendelenburg position, not reverse Trendelenburg, to avoid air embolus.
