Positions for Overcoming Shortness of Breath
A. Lying Down Breathing Positions for Covid-19
Lying down breathing positions are ideally changed every 1-2 hours and only if the individual can tolerate these positions. If shortness of breath increases or oxygen saturation levels decrease then change position. Monitor oxygen saturation levels for the first 15 minutes in a new resting position to make sure oxygen levels are not decreasing.
1. PRONE position (lying on stomach) only if the patient can move in and out of this position on their own, have not eaten past 30 minutes and not vomiting. Place a pillow under the hips and feet for comfort. Raise one or both arms. The forehead can rest on a small rolled towel for added comfort.
2. LYING ON RIGHT SIDE with a pillow between legs, pillow under the upper arm and head supported. The bed should be flat not raised.
Lying supine on the back with the bed head raised 30-60 degrees rather than lying flat. You can raise the head of the bed with bricks, blocks of wood or bed risers or rest on a bed wedge.
3. LYING ON LEFT SIDE with a pillow between legs, pillow under the upper arm and head supported. The bed should be flat not raised.
4. LYING ON BACK with the bed raised or using a wedge to raise the upper body
5. LYING PRONE only if the patient can move in and out of this position on their own, have not eaten past 30 minutes or vomiting as for number 1.
