Effects of the beach chair position on respiratory mechanics in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease hospitalized in intensive care unit
Beach chair positioning improves lung compliance and elastance in individuals with COPD in ICU when compared to supine positioning. This study suggests that the beach chair position may offer significant respiratory benefits in terms of respiratory mechanics for COPD patients.
