The position of the rib fracture should be maintained in the supine position, as the chest is smoothest when lying on the back and does not move easily. The treatment of rib fractures is generally conservative, with bed rest until the fracture heals by wrapping the chest band around it. The position you take after a rib fracture is very critical, especially when sleeping in the supine position. If you sleep in a side-lying or other position, the fractured segment is easily compressed and displaced, making it less likely to be repaired. Displacement of the fracture end can easily stab the pleura and lungs and cause pneumothorax, which can seriously endanger the life of the patient. In addition to paying attention to the sleeping position, it is also important to let the patient breathe smoothly and try to prevent colds and flu from sneezing and coughing when the rib fracture occurs.
