During episodes of respiratory distress, when inserting a nasogastric tube, during oral intake with feeding precautions
High-Fowlers
79
HOB 45-60° with the patient sitting up in bed. Patient lying on their back in bed, with HOB reclined
Facilitates chest expansion so it is helpful with patients who are having difficulty breathing, during tube feeding admininstation because it facilitates peristalsis while minimizing aspiration risk, simply a comfortable position, also used in the postpartum period to facilitate excretion of lochia
