I'm about to start my dissertation and am planning to do it on 'family presence during CPR in accident and emergency'. does anyone have or seen any good articles relating to this topic?

I understand that, but to to help improve oxygenation, respiratory mechanics, alveolar inflation, lung volume, drainage and secretions and to reduce ventilator associated injury is it a good idea to put someone on their side whilst doing your assessment to relieve some of the symptoms of hyperventilation and to decrease the amount the patient has to work to breath wasting valuable energy and easing patient distress....

does it help to lay a patient with septic shock on their side to facilitate lung expansion?
