The Effect of Semi Fowler 30' Right Lateral on Cardiac Output in Acute Heart Failure
Sponsor: Universitas Indonesia
Summary
Heart failure is a special clinical syndrome such as difficulty breathing, fatigue, and swollen legs characterized by increased JVP, crackle lung sounds, and peripheral edema caused by heart disorders both structural and/or functional, resulting in decreased cardiac output and increased intracardiac pressure at rest and activity. Body positioning has been shown to affect stroke volume and parasympathetic modulating activity. The right lateral 30" semifowler position is a very safe position in heart failure patients admitted to the ICU. Although body positioning can affect stroke volume, and parasympathetic modulation, it is not yet clear what effect it has on cardiac output

Interventions
Semifowler 30' Right Lateral Body Position
Semifowler 30' Right Lateral Body Position Is a regulation of body position by placing the patient's body in a semi-fowler and lateral resting position of 30 degrees
Semi-Fowler 30 Degree Position (Standard Care)
Standard semi-Fowler position with the head of the bed elevated to 30 degrees in the supine position, maintained for 10 minutes before cardiac output measurement. Used as the comparator condition in the crossover design.
