Background: Mechanical ventilation in the prone position is used to improve oxygenation
and to mitigate the harmful effects of mechanical ventilation in patients with acute respiratory …

Rationale: The application of prone positioning for acute respiratory distress syndrome
(ARDS) has evolved, with recent trials focusing on patients with more severe ARDS, and …

Purpose Prone positioning for ARDS has been performed for decades without definitive
evidence of clinical benefit. A recent multicenter trial demonstrated for the first time …

Objective: The survival benefit of prone positioning during mechanical ventilation for acute
respiratory distress syndrome has been a matter of debate. Recent multicenter randomized …

Introduction Prone position ventilation has been shown to improve oxygenation and
ventilatory mechanics in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. We evaluated …

Background Prone positioning for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has no
impact on mortality despite significant improvements in oxygenation. However, a recent trial …

Introduction Prone positioning has been used for many years in patients with acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The initial reason for prone positioning in ARDS …

Objective: To review the effectiveness of prone position as compared with supine position,
with respect to mortality, improvement in oxygenation, number of days on mechanical …

Introduction Prone positioning (PP) has been reported to improve the survival of patients
with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, it is uncertain whether …

Objective To compare the effects of ventilation in prone and in supine position in patients
with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS). Design Meta …
