Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 2019
Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a clinical entity characterized by hypoxemic respiratory failure in the setting of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Prone positioning is a beneficial strategy in patients with severe ARDS because it improves alveolar recruitment, ventilation ...

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2014
Prone position can prevent ventilator-induced lung injury in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients receiving conventional mechanical ventilation and, hence, may have the potential to improve survival from this basis. Even though no single randomized controlled trial has proven benefit on patient outcome until recently, two meta-analyses ...

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 1996
T he prone position is often used for operations involving the spine (1) and posterior fossa (21, and for certain urologic and lower gastrointestinal procedures (3). This position provides excellent surgical access and, with proper positioning, a decrease in extradural vein and cerebrospinal fluid pressures (1).

Prone position breast irradiation
International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1994An alternative technique for irradiating the breast following breast conserving surgery is described.The technique utilizes the prone position and has been developed to improve the dose distribution within the breast and reduce the volume of normal tissues irradiated during whole breast treatment. Improvements in the dosimetry of breast irradiation are

British Journal of Perioperative Nursing (United Kingdom), 2003
Prone positioning of patients may optimise exposure for certain surgical procedures. There have been many published works that discuss the advantages of prone ventilation and how to nurse a patient who is lying in the prone position. However, there are very few empirical studies that describe how to place a patient in the prone position.

Journal of Perioperative Practice, 2012
The role of the registered perioperative practitioner (Operating Department Practitioner or Registered Nurse) includes the responsibility for safely positioning patients for surgery. The prone position is in common use for a variety of surgical procedures. The formal term for this surgical position is ventral decubitus (meaning laying face down).

Prone-Positioning Therapy in ARDS
Critical Care Clinics, 2011The prone position has been used to improve oxygenation in patients with severe hypoxemia and acute respiratory failure since 1974. All studies with the prone position document an improvement in systemic oxygenation in 70% to 80% of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), with maximal improvement seen in the most hypoxemic patients ...

The Pragmatics of Prone Positioning
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 20021. Functional residual capacity may be higher, thereby reducing end-expiratory airspace closure (1, 2). This benefit is important relative to gas exchange as it will particularly affect the dorsal lung, and this region receives the greatest proportion of perfusion in all postures (3, 4). 2.

[Prone position in hysterosalpingography].
La Radiologia medica, 1984The authors discuss the importance of prone hysterosalpingography to the aim of a careful tubal examination. Nearly all the complete or partial tubal obstructions, observed during supine hysterosalpingography, have been resolved by the simple prone position.

Physical Therapy, 1985
To the Editor: This is in response to the article in the September 1984 issue of Physical Therapy entitled “Subject-Induced Reinforcement of Head Lifting in the Prone Position: A Case Report.” I take no issue with the thrust of the article, that “self-induced, music-contingent feedback” can be an “effective method of reinforcing specific movement ...
