Effectiveness of Outcome-Based Education on Maintaining Semi-Upright Position of Patients Under Mechanical Ventilation

The Effect of Semi-Upright Position on Incidence and Intensity of Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting

Investigation of oxygenation in premature infants under mechanical ventilation in supine position compare to side lying

Abstract Introduction: Changing position is an important aspect within nursing care. Prone positioning amongst premature infants could improve their oxygenation compared to supine position. Side lying position leads to developed support between premature infants, however there is few studies about effects of this position on premature infants 'oxygenation. Objective: This study was conduc...

Upright position mechanical ventilation: an alternative strategy for ALI/ARDS patients?

Use of body positioning to improve oxygenation in mechanically ventilated patients with acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has been well documented. However, neither prone position ventilation nor side lying ventilation has been reported to improve the survival. Whether there is a body position superior to routine supine position or other positions as therape...

The Effectiveness of Acupressure Therapy on Physiological Criteria in Female Patients Being Weaned from Mechanical Ventilation

Introduction: Improving the respiratory function of patients for weaning mechanical ventilation is one of the caring challenges in intensive care settings. Acupressure maybe improves physiological criteria. Therefore, this study aimed to determine acupressure therapy on physiological criteria in female patients being weaned from mechanical ventilation. Methods: This randomized controlled trial ...

The impacts of prone position on the blood oxygen saturations and heart rates of preterm infants under the mechanical ventilation

Background: The methods of baby's position are an important critical factor in ventilation and oxygenation of tissues. Although the prone position as one of the recommended position has beneficial effect on the development of premature infants, little research has been done. Methods: In a clinical trial among mechanically ventilated infants, hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care units (N...

Effects of prone position on lung function of patients undergoing mechanical ventilation under total intravenous anesthesia

Lung function of patients is one of the most important issues for anesthesiologists during the perioperative period. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of prone position on lung function of patients undergoing mechanical ventilation under total intravenous anesthesia. Sixty patients undergoing elective surgery were randomly divided into 2 groups: supine group (receiving operation in supin...
