Adjunctive Therapy to Mechanical Ventilation: Surfactant Therapy, Liquid Ventilation, and Prone Position

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2006
Acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome are associated with significant morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. Although lung protective mechanical ventilation is the only therapy shown to reduce mortality and development of organ failure, several biologic pathways have been identified and provided an opportunity for ...

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.

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,

Review: prone positioning improved oxygenation on ventilation more than supine positioning in ARDSCommentary

Evidence Based Nursing, 2008
C M Martin Dr C M Martin, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada; cmartin1@uwo.ca In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) on mechanical ventilation, does prone positioning result in better outcomes than supine positioning?

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.

Effects of prone position and positive end-expiratory pressure on lung perfusion and ventilation*

Critical Care Medicine, 2008
Prone positioning is frequently used during acute respiratory distress syndrome. However, mechanisms by which it improves oxygenation are poorly understood, as well as its interaction with positive end-expiratory pressure. This study was conducted to decipher the respective effects of positive end-expiratory pressure and posture during lung injury on ...

Prone positioning attenuates and redistributes ventilator-induced lung injury in dogs

Critical Care Medicine, 2000
We previously demonstrated a markedly dependent distribution of ventilator-induced lung injury in oleic acid-injured supine animals ventilated with large tidal volumes and positive end-expiratory pressure > or =10 cm H2O. Because pleural pressure distributes more uniformly in the prone position, we hypothesized that the extent of injury induced by ...

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 ...

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. Although proning in the COVID-19 patient population is increasingly common, more data are needed to fully understand ...
