Application of prone position ventilation in ventilation strategies for patients with COVID-19

Technology and Health Care
BACKGROUND: Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been shown to die mainly due to disease-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Prone position ventilation (PPV) is an important ventilation strategy in the management of patients with ARDS.

Inability to ventilate the lungs of a patient with tracheal anomaly and in prone position

Journal of Clinical Anesthesia, 2008
We present the case of an otherwise asymptomatic patient with a rare congenital airway abnormality of the tracheobronchial tree, who developed a complete airway obstruction after being placed in the prone position. The tracheal bronchus, accessory bronchus arising from the trachea superior to its bifurcation at the carina, was identified by fiberoptic ...

Emerging Problems in Mechanical Ventilation: the Prone Position

2002
The main characteristic of acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the hypoxemia associated with an increased work of breathing. The hypoxemia results from ventilation perfusion mismatch. The primary supportive care in ALI/ARDS patients is mechanical ventilation.

Enteral Nutrition in Patients Receiving Mechanical Ventilation in a Prone Position

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 2014
Background: Patients treated with mechanical ventilation in the prone position (PP) could have an increased risk for feeding intolerance. However, the available evidence supporting this hypothesis is limited and contradictory. Objective: To examine the feasibility and efficacy of enteral nutrition (EN) support and its associated complications in ...

Ventilation with facial mask in the prone position for radiotherapy procedures in children

Revista Española de Anestesiología y Reanimación (English Edition), 2016
Ventilation of patients undergoing procedures in the prone position represents a challenge for the anesthesiologist, especially when trying to avoid tracheal intubation. This study aimed to test the effectiveness and safety of a prototype designed for pediatric facial mask ventilation in the prone position.A prospective descriptive study was conducted ...

Prone position in mechanically ventilated patients with reduced intracranial compliance

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 2006
Background:  Prone position has been used for several years to treat acute lung insufficiency, but in previous studies patients with unstable intracranial pressure (ICP) are mostly excluded. The aim of this study was to investigate if prone position is a safe and useful treatment in patients with reduced intracranial compliance.Methods:  A consecutive,

Anesthetic Depth and Mask Ventilation in the Prone Position

2013
Spine surgery in the prone position can provide unique challenges. We describe the anesthetic management of a patient undergoing spine surgery with sensory and motor evoked potentials and the management of an airway emergency in the prone position.

The Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Mechanical Ventilation, and the Prone Position

New England Journal of Medicine, 2001
The acute respiratory distress syndrome is a devastating, often fatal inflammatory condition that probably affects more than a million patients throughout the world each year.1 Since its description over 30 years ago,2 this syndrome has claimed the attention of clinicians and researchers because it is associated with an extremely high mortality rate ...

Outcomes of Prone Positioning in Mechanically Ventilated COVID-19 Patients

Respiratory Care
Background: Prone positioning in mechanically ventilated patients with severe ARDS is associated with reduced mortality. COVID-19 causes variable pulmonary involvement in some patients suffering from severe respiratory failure and ARDS.
