What is the difference between forced and coerced positions?

Patients often adopt a comfortable position on their own, depending on the location of the disease or injury. Experienced people often use the posture of the position to determine the disease, so as to use the correct rescue method. Forced position refers to a fixed and uncomfortable state in which the position of the limbs cannot be adjusted or changed by their own strength. The common positions are decubitus position, mid-concave position, etc., which are often confused with forced position. Forced position refers to a certain position that the patient is forced to take in order to relieve pain, there are mainly the following eight kinds. 1, forced sitting position: also known as sitting breathing, this position is easy to breathe, and because the lower extremity position is lower than the heart, so that blood flow back to the heart to reduce the burden on the heart, mostly seen in patients with severe heart failure and patients with pulmonary insufficiency. 2, forced prone position: this position can reduce the tension of the muscles of the low back, commonly seen in patients with spondylitis, spinal trauma, etc. 3, forced lateral position: seen in patients suffering from pleurisy on one side and a large amount of pleural effusion on one side, because this can reduce pain and can make the respiratory muscles and lungs on the healthy side to compensate for breathing to reduce respiratory distress. 4, forced supine position: the patient lies on his back, legs curled, which can reduce the tension of the abdominal muscles and reduce pain, as seen in some pain caused by abdominal disorders such as peritonitis. 5.Forced standing position: mostly occurs when walking suddenly and immediately stand, and hand over the precordial area, and later continue to walk. Most of them are caused by angina attack, then serious or even fainting or sudden death, if you also have a similar attack, you need to go to the hospital immediately for examination, and carry the necessary drugs for urgent use. 6.Forced squatting position: Patients feel palpitations or difficulty in breathing during activities, and take squatting position or knee-chest position to relieve symptoms, commonly in cyanotic congenital heart disease. 7.Tossing and turning position: It shows that the patient tosses and turns in bed and keeps changing the position.
