Standard Fowler's position is utilized for various reasons, including:
Enhancing respiratory function: Elevating the head allows for better lung expansion, making it easier for patients with respiratory issues to breathe. Promoting digestion: This position helps in the digestion process by preventing aspiration and reducing the risk of gastroesophageal reflux. Post-operative care: It is often used after surgeries to reduce tension on abdominal incisions and aid in recovery. Feeding: It helps patients who have difficulty swallowing by reducing the risk of aspiration during feeding.
