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 …

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 …

Background Limited data are available on the use of prone position in intubated, invasively
ventilated patients with Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). Aim of this study is to …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an acute respiratory illness characterised by
bilateral chest radiographical opacities with severe hypoxaemia due to non-cardiogenic …

Background Although placing patients with acute respiratory failure in a prone (face down)
position improves their oxygenation 60 to 70 percent of the time, the effect on survival is not …
