The Trendelenburg position involves placing a patient supine with the body tilted so the feet are elevated above the head, typically at a 15–30° angle. It is used to improve venous return and cardiac output in shock or hypotension. However, prolonged use can increase intracranial pressure and worsen respiratory function, limiting its application in certain patients.
