In medicine, Fowlers position is a standard patient position in which the patient is seated in a semi-upright sitting position 45-60 degrees and may have knees either bent or straightcitation needed. It is an intervention used to promote oxygenation via maximum chest expansion and is implemented during events of respiratory distress. Fowlers position facilitates the relaxing of tension of the abdominal muscles, allowing for improved breathing. In immobile patients and infants, the Fowlers position alleviates compression of the chest that occurs due to gravity. Fowlers position increases comfort during eating and other activities, is used in postpartum women to improve uterine drainage, and in infants when signs of respiratory distress present. Fowlers position is also used when oral or nasal gastric feeding tubes have been implemented as it minimizes the risk of aspiration. Peristalsis and swallowing are aided by the effect of gravitational pull..
