6 cze 2013 · Prone positioning has been used for many years to improve oxygenation in patients who require mechanical ventilatory support for management of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Pozycjonowanie na brzuchu może być stosowane u pacjentów wentylowanych mechanicznie z ciężką niewydolnością oddechową w celu optymalizacji natlenienia. W dotychczas przeprowadzanych badaniach, najczęściej badano rezultaty u pacjentów z zespołem ostrej niewydolności oddechowej (ARDS) (Gattinoni i in., 2001).
Improvement in oxygenation and reduction in mortality are the main reasons to implement prone position in patients with ARDS. The main reason explaining a decreased mortality is less overdistension in non-dependent lung regions and less cyclical opening and closing in dependent lung regions.
Prone positioning is a technique used to help patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome breathe better. Widespread inflammation in the lungs may result in a life-threatening condition called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Prone positioning was associated with higher rates of endotracheal tube obstruction and pressure sores. Risk of bias was low across the trials. Conclusions: Prone positioning is likely to reduce mortality among patients with severe ARDS when applied for at least 12 hours daily.
11 kwi 2024 · Prone positioning remains one of the few therapies proven to reduce mortality in severe ARDS, a life-threatening syndrome of respiratory failure with an associated mortality as high as 30%. 1 Prone positioning can reduce mortality by up to 50%; however, despite this dramatic benefit, it remains poorly used, with ≤ 20% of eligible patients ...
10 lis 2020 · There are two primary indications for implementing prone ventilation in patients with ARDS: the need to improve oxygenation, as previously discussed, and the potential for prone position to reduce mortality.
