Air or Pulmonary Embolism to LEFT side and LOWER the head of bed.)
(late decels, decreased variability, fetal bradycardia, etc) Turn pt on Left side, give O2,
Woman in labor (un-reassuring FHR) stop pitocin, Increase IV fluids!
Pt on Right side (promotes emptying of the stomach) Head of bed elevated (prevent
Tube feeding with decreased LOC aspiration)
