Trepopnea /tɹɛpəʊpˈniːə/ is dyspnea (shortness of breath) that is sensed while lying on one side but not on the other [1] (lateral recumbent position). It results from disease of one lung, one major bronchus, or chronic congestive heart failure that affects only a side of breathing.
The fetal position is lying or sitting curled, with limbs close to the torso and the head close to the knees. The recovery position (coma position), one of a series of variations on a lateral recumbent or three-quarters prone position of the body, into which an unconscious but breathing casualty can be placed as part of first aid treatment.
Advocates for this technique claim that it can improve breathing mechanics, including diaphragmatic function. They use the term "zone of apposition" to describe where the diaphragm attaches to the rib cage. [4] The diaphragm's mechanical action and respiratory advantage depends on its relationship and anatomical arrangement with the rib cage ...
“Consequently, it is difficult to localize pain in the chest, so a problem on the left side of the chest can present itself as pain on the right side, shoulder pain, or even neck and jaw pain.”
However, some of these organs aren’t just found on the right side of the body—the pancreas, colon and kidneys could also cause pain in the center or left side of the body.
In addition to the redistribution of blood in the body, most cases of dyspnea are accompanied by an increase in the overall work of breathing, often caused by abnormal pulmonary mechanisms. [ 5 ] The perception of dyspnea is theorized to be a complicated connection between peripheral receptors, neural pathways , and the central nervous system .
By contrast, the St. John manual advocated turning the head to the side, but it was not until the 1950 40th edition of the St. John Manual that it was added "if breathing is noisy (bubbling through secretions), turn the patient into the three-quarters prone position", [4] which is very similar to a modern recovery position.
