The patient sleeping on prone position: Case report

Abstract

Abstract: The patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) try to improve their impaired pulmonary functions by their own maneuvers and the most popular maneuvers are prone position and pursed-lip breathing. However the prognosis get worse by apnea even in different body positions, when COPD and the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) are seen together. Also the different body positions used in pulmonary rehablition and surgery can cause serious changes in pulmonary functions of COPD patients. Hence, the suitable positions must be chosen for these patients, while they are given the right positions for the treatment. Our patient is eighty two years old and prefers to sleep on prone position. However, respiratory failure gets worse by apnea during his sleep in different body positions. We want to present our patient followed by the diagnosis of COPD,OSAS and metabolic syndrome as it is interesting and educative. Key words: COPD,OSAS, body positions, pulmonary functions.
