After a pneumonectomy, the patient should ideally be positioned in a semi-Fowler's position, which involves sitting at an angle between 30 to 45 degrees. This position helps facilitate lung expansion and improves respiratory function while minimizing pressure on the surgical site. Additionally, positioning the patient on their non-operated side can help promote drainage and prevent complications. Regular monitoring and adjustments should be made based on the patient's comfort and respiratory status.

A patient should be placed in the recovery position if they are unconscious but breathing normally, to help keep the airway clear and reduce the risk of aspiration. This position involves lying the patient on their side with the head tilted back slightly to maintain an open airway. It is also appropriate if the patient is experiencing a seizure or if they are at risk of vomiting. However, if the patient shows signs of severe injury or is unresponsive and not breathing, immediate medical assistance should be sought, and CPR should be initiated.
