What position to use to tube feed unconscious patient?

For an unconscious patient receiving tube feedings, the optimal position is usually the left lateral position (lying on their left side) or a semi-Fowler's position (sitting at a 30 to 45-degree angle). These positions help reduce the risk of aspiration and promote gastric emptying. Always ensure that the head of the bed is elevated to prevent reflux and keep the airway clear. Additionally, proper monitoring during feeding is essential to ensure patient safety.
