[Prone position in hysterosalpingography].

open access: yesLa Radiologia medica, 1984
The 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.

Prone Positioning

Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 2012
Prone positioning has been used as a treatment option for patients with acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) since the early 1970s. Prone position and extended prone position ventilation have been shown to increase end-expiratory lung volume, alveolar recruitment, and oxygenation in patients with severe hypoxemic and acute ...

Prone Positioning in ARDS

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 ...

The Pragmatics of Prone Positioning

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2002
1. 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

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 ...

Prone Position

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 Positioning for Surgery

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).

The Prone Position for Elbow Arthroscopy

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 1991
Using the prone position for diagnostic and therapeutic arthroscopy improves intraoperative stability of the arm and allows the surgeon to approach the joint in a more intuitive manner. With this position, indications for elbow arthroscopy are increased and risks to neurovascular structures are reduced.

The prone position

Surgical Endoscopy, 1994
Obtaining a clear view during laparoscopic surgery in the posterior abdominal cavity, on the abdominal backwall, or during colon surgery is time consuming and therefore one of the major objections to these procedures. In an experimental setting we positioned the animals in the prone position using the abdominal flanks to introduce the trocars.

Prone-Positioning Therapy in ARDS

Critical Care Clinics, 2011
The 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 ...
