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).

Thoracoscopic esophagectomy in the prone position
Surgical Endoscopy, 2012Minimally invasive esophageal surgery has arisen in an attempt to reduce the significant complications associated with esophagectomy. Despite proposed technical and physiological advantages, the prone position technique has not been widely adopted. This article reviews the current status of prone thoracoscopic esophagectomy.A systematic literature ...

The Prone Position for Elbow Arthroscopy
Clinics in Sports Medicine, 1991Using 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.

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, 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 ...

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.
