Care for a client who has hepatopulmonary syndrome should include oxygen therapy,the head of bed elevated at least 30 degrees or as high as the client wants to improve breathing,elevated feet to decrease dependent edema,and daily weights.There is no need to place the client in a prone position,on the client's stomach.Although physical therapy may be helpful to a client who has been hospitalized for several days,physical therapy is not an intervention specifically for hepatopulmonary syndrome.
