What Positions are Beneficial for Neonates with Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS)?
For neonates with RDS, prone positioning (lying on the stomach) is often beneficial. This position can help improve oxygenation and lung mechanics. However, it should be done under close supervision to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Additionally, elevating the head of the bed slightly can help reduce the work of breathing.
