After a right hemicolectomy, a patient is typically positioned in a supine position, often with slight elevation of the head and upper body for comfort and to facilitate breathing. Additionally, they may be encouraged to use pillows to support their abdomen, especially if there is any discomfort or pain. In some cases, a left lateral position might be used to reduce tension on the surgical site. Overall, the primary goal is to ensure patient comfort while promoting recovery.

Answer from a Catholic (Catholics in union with the Pope)The Catholic position is that if there is reasonable hope that resuscitation would preserve the patient's life, and that to do so would not represent an undue burden to the patient, then resuscitation would be part of the minimum standard of care. If the patient is not expected to recover from a fatal illness or injury, and has begun to enter the dying process, then to continue to administer resuscitation would most likely be truly burdensome to the patient and not good care for them. In such cases, a do not resuscitate order would be appropriate.
