Ventilation inhomogeneity in patients with cystic fibrosis measured by electrical impedance tomography [PDF]
Objective: The distribution of ventilation within the lung is inhomogeneous. We hypothesized that the degree of inhomogeneity in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) differs from that in healthy subjects.

Study of prone positioning to reduce ventilator-associated pneumonia in hypoxaemic patients [PDF]
The aim of the present study was to examine whether prone positioning (PP) affects ventilator associated-pneumonia (VAP) and mortality in patients with acute lung injury/adult respiratory distress syndrome.2,409 prospectively included patients were admitted over 9 yrs (2000–2008) to 12 French intensive care units (ICUs) (OUTCOMEREA).

Background During lumbar spine surgery, patients are placed in the prone position for surgical access. The prone position has various effects on cardiac and pulmonary function, including a decreased cardiac index (CI), decreased dynamic lung compliance ...

Prone position in mechanically-ventilated patients.
The prone position, initially introduced into respiratory therapy to improve the drainage of secretions, has been suggested to improve oxygenation in anaesthetized and paralysed subjects. Here we report on the results obtained using the prone position in 17 normal subjects, 10 obese subjects and 16 patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF).

Background and Aims: Airway used in prone position should be efficacious and safe. The Streamlined Liner of the Pharynx Airway (SLIPA™) and Laryngeal Mask Airway-ProSeal (PLMA) provide better airway seal and protection against aspiration.

Critically Ill Patients with COVID-19: A Narrative Review on Prone Position
Introduction Prone position is known to improve mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The impact of prone position in critically ill patients with coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) remains to be determined.

Flexible bronchoscopy during mechanical ventilation in the prone position to treat acute lung injury [PDF]
In patients with severe acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) the prone position has been shown to improve survival of patients who are severely hypoxemic with an arterial oxygen tension to inspiratory oxygen fraction ...
