Reverse Trendelenburg describes a position where the head of the bed is elevated and the foot of the bed is lowered (an easy way to remember how this differs from Trendelenburg position is Trendelenburg = Toes up!) 😉 Reverse 🔀 Trendelenburg may be used when we want to promote gastric emptying, prevent esophageal reflux, or change positions gradually (such as when a client has been on bedrest and is re-adapting to being in an upright position). 🧠 Send this NCLEX® memory trick to your study bud
