The chest-knee position is a special position usually required during examinations in the hospital or during anesthesia in the clinic. Generally speaking, when doing prostate and rectal digital examination or sampling semen, it needs to be done in the chest-knee position, which is conducive to the operator's operation. In addition, when going to the hospital clinic for anesthesia in the intervertebral disc canal, it is necessary to perform chest-knee lying position to widen the intervertebral disc lamina space, which is conducive to intraspinal puncture.

Basic principles of the knee-chest position

1. Knee-chest position is a method that can be used to correct the fetal position of pregnant women. This method can effectively correct the abnormal position of the fetus. However, it usually needs to be carried out under the guidance of a specialist. Because this requires very professional skills, it is necessary to go to a regular hospital for examination.

2. The knee-chest position can move the baby's buttocks toward the pelvic entrance, which is conducive to using the baby's center of gravity to change. You can turn the fetal head down and the fetal position up to change the fetal position, so this method is very effective for changing the fetal position. When pregnant women usually check the fetus for transverse position, the doctor will use this method to change the fetal position.

3. The knee-chest position can also be used to repair the uterus after childbirth and correct the retroverted uterus. For anal and duodenosigmoidoscopy, transthoracic approach and CO2 inhalation can be used to alleviate hypoxia and thus provide oxygenation for children with Fallot syndrome.

Benefits of the knee-chest position

1. The knee-chest position can correct the normal transverse position of the fetus. Through training in this position, the center of gravity can be used to change the fetus from the original breech position or horizontal position to the head position. Some women who suffer from infertility due to uterine abnormalities or menstrual pain can use knee-chest manipulation to change the position of the uterus, relieve pain symptoms, and increase the chances of natural pregnancy.

2. If the breech or transverse position is still after 30 weeks of pregnancy, this method can also be used. However, you must correct yourself under the guidance of a doctor. This method cannot be turned on the head, or asked the doctor to guide the pregnant woman to give birth.

3. Some women have an outdated uterine height-to-width ratio, which causes menstrual pain due to abnormal uterine position and irregular menstrual bleeding. Such women may also have difficulty getting pregnant due to poor uterine position, which can usually be corrected by lying on their back. Therefore, this lying method greatly improves women's uterus. Generally, this method can change a lot of pain caused by the uterus.
