High Fowler's Position
High Fowler's Position is a sitting posture often used in medical settings to aid patients with breathing difficulties or those recovering from surgery. In this position, the patient sits upright at an angle of 60 to 90 degrees, which helps to expand the lungs and improve oxygenation.
This position is beneficial for patients with conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or heart failure. It can also facilitate eating and drinking, making it easier for patients to swallow and reducing the risk of aspiration.
