One must avoid supine position as this can cause compression against the inferior vena cava vein and cause reduced return blood volume.
In such cases upright and semi-supine position are best suited
Also in case of syncope place the patient in left lateral posture in order to relieve pressure on this vein and restore blood flow to the heart
