                                According to the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, maintaining a 30-45 degree head of bed elevation is a primary guideline for reducing the risk of aspiration in patients receiving tube feedings. This simple yet vital positioning strategy can significantly improve patient safety and outcomes.
