Background The use of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and prone position (PP) is
common in the management of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome patients (ARDS) …

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to evaluate the safety of extended prone position
ventilation (PPV) and its impact on respiratory function in patients with severe acute …

Prone positioning is an evidence-based treatment for patients with moderate-to-severe
acute respiratory distress syndrome. Lung recruitment has been proposed as one of the …

Background In acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients, it has recently been
proposed to set positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) by targeting end-expiratory …

Background Previous trials involving patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome
(ARDS) have failed to show a beneficial effect of prone positioning during mechanical …

Prone positioning is nowadays considered as one of the most effective strategies for patients
with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The evolution of the …

Background: Implementation of lung protective strategy in the treatment of severe Acute
Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) has been reported to be associated with improved …

The present authors hypothesised that in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome
(ARDS), pronation may reduce ventilator-induced overall stress (ie transpulmonary pressure …

Background Prone position is used to recruit collapsed dependent lung regions during
severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, improving lung elastance and lung gas content …

Rationale: Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and prone positioning may induce lung
recruitment and affect alveolar dynamics in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) …
