Prone position in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome
Acute respiratory distress syndrome occupies a great deal of attention in intensive care units. Despite ample knowledge of the physiopathology of this syndrome, the focus in intensive care units consists mostly of life-supporting treatment and avoidance of the side effects of invasive treatments. Although great advances in mechanical ventilation have occurred in the past 20 years, with a signif...
متن کاملProne ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Prone positioning has been used for many years in patients with acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), with no clear benefit for patient outcome. Meta-analyses have suggested better survival in patients with an arterial oxygen tension (PaO2 )/inspiratory oxygen fraction (FIO2 ) ratio <100 mmHg. A recent randomised controlled trial was performed in ARDS patients afte...
متن کاملUse of the prone position in the acute respiratory distress syndrome: how should we assess benefit?
Prone positioning of patients with acute respiratory failure was first suggested over 30 years ago. In the present issue of Clinical Science, Reutershan and co-workers have studied the changes in end-expiratory lung volume in 12 patients with ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) over an 8 h period following manual turning from the supine to prone position. From the data presented, the aut...
متن کاملClinical guidelines for the use of the prone position in acute respiratory distress syndrome.
The mortality associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains high. It has been suggested that use of the prone position may improve survival. However, approaches to the use of the position are often haphazard. The development of clinical guidelines indicating the need for the prone position in ARDS and the process by which the manoeuvre may be performed were thought to be im...
متن کاملHow safe is the prone position in acute respiratory distress syndrome at late pregnancy?
We encountered a case of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome in late pregnancy due to influenza (H1N1) with refractory hypoxemia to conventional mechanical ventilation. Ventilation in prone position rescued this patient by maintaining oxygenation and sustaining improvement thereafter. Here, we discuss the mechanism of prone ventilation with special references to safety management of acut...
