In ARDS patients, the change from supine to prone position generates a more even
distribution of the gas–tissue ratios along the dependent–nondependent axis and a more …

In the prone position, computed tomography scan densities redistribute from dorsal to
ventral as the dorsal region tends to reexpand while the ventral zone tends to collapse …

Objective To determine the prevalence of complications in patients with COVID-19
undergone prone positioning, focusing on the development of prone-related pressure …

Prone position (PP) has been used since the 1970s to treat severe hypoxemia in patients
with ARDS because of its effectiveness at improving gas exchange. Compared with the …

Background Early application of prolonged prone positioning has been shown to improve
patient survival in moderate to severe adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients …

Rationale: Lung injury caused by a ventilator results from nonphysiologic lung stress
(transpulmonary pressure) and strain (inflated volume to functional residual capacity ratio) …

In the vast majority of cases, appropriate identification and mitigation of risk factors can
prevent or minimize pressure ulcer (PU) formation. However, some PUs are unavoidable …

Purpose To describe what is defined as normal intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and how
body positioning, body mass index (BMI) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) affect …

Rationale: The effects of prone positioning during acute respiratory distress syndrome on all
the components of cardiac function have not been investigated under protective ventilation …
