Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The orthopneic position is characterized by sitting up in bed and leaning over a table or with pillows to support the upper body. This position helps to open up the chest and lungs, making it easier to breathe, particularly for individuals with respiratory problems such as COPD or congestive heart failure. Fowler's position and Semi-Fowler's position are also sitting positions, but they do not involve leaning over a table or similar support. The hypoxic position is not a recognized medical position for patients.
