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 کاملProne positioning in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Prone positioning is a technique used to treat patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Nurses are ideally placed to initiate and manage prone positioning. This article examines the aetiology of ARDS and how nurses can identify this condition. Patient groups that benefit most from prone positioning are considered as well as the research evidence on the use of prone positioning ...
متن کاملEffects of prone position on the oxygenation of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by arterial hypoxemia, and prone position (PP) is one possible management strategy. The objective here was to evaluate the effects of PP on oxygenation. DESIGN AND SETTING Non-randomized, open, prospective, controlled clinical trial, in a surgical intensive care unit at a tertiary university hospital. METHODS ...
متن کاملPEEP titration during prone positioning for acute respiratory distress syndrome.
No major trial evaluating prone positioning for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has incorporated a high-positive end-expiratory pressure (high-PEEP) strategy despite complementary physiological rationales. We evaluated generalizability of three recent proning trials to patients receiving a high-PEEP strategy. All trials employed a relatively low-PEEP strategy. After protocol ventilat...
