Reasons for this position: This position could be used to do a procedure like inserting an NGtube to help facilitate swallowing or if there are swallowing deficits. This positioning also helps to open up the airway especially if the patient is having a hard time breathing. Fowlers: This is a comfortable sitting up in bed position with the HOB at 45-60 degrees. Reasons for this position: Helps facilitate better digestion and respiratory expansion and decrease respiratory effort due to proper airway alignment. It's common for patients with cardiac or respiratory conditions because it helps increase oxygenation. Supine: The patient is lying flat on their back and the HOB is flat. Reasons for this position: This is used commonly following surgical procedures as it helps to normalize the hemodynamics. The patient may also have a neck roll in place to help align the airway a little better.
