30 degree lateral position referrs to the angle of a person's hips and/or shoulders in relation to the bed. Nursing practice historically focuses on pressure ulcer prevention by repositioning patients every two hours. Originally patients were positioned in a 90 degree lateral sidelying position. It was found this placed undue pressure on shoulder joints and the trochanter (hip joint). In a 30 degree lateral position the weight of the person resting upon the mattress is on the muscle pad of the upper buttock and is less likely to result in a pressure ulcer.
