Prone positioning was first proposed in the 1970s as a method to improve gas exchange in
ARDS. Subsequent observations of dramatic improvement in oxygenation with simple …

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 …

OBJECTIVES: Prone positioning allows to improve oxygenation and decrease mortality rate
in COVID-19–associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (C-ARDS). However, the …

Study objective To review the effects of prone position and supine position on oxygenation
parameters in patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Design Systematic …

This review provides an overview of the relationship between ventilation/perfusion ratios
and gas exchange in the lung, emphasising basic concepts and relating them to clinical …

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 …

Purpose This study aimed at investigating the mechanisms underlying the oxygenation
response to proning and recruitment maneuvers in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) …

reference values and interpretation New for this edition:-More illustrations to convey …

Methods ARDS was defined according to the Berlin definition (1), and severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection was confirmed by positive …

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