Awake-prone-position-in-acute-hypoxaemic-respiratory-failure

2023 22 Aug

A study aimed to improve understanding of the impact of the awake prone position on the breathing patterns of patients with low oxygen levels. The researchers carried out a crossover trial examining how awake prone position use in patients with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure affected their physiological responses.   The study involved...Read more

Prone-positioning-for-acute-hypoxaemic-respiratory-failure

2023 15 Feb

Prone positioning is a medical intervention that was initially proposed over 50 years ago as a way to improve gas exchange. Multiple clinical trials have been conducted on its effectiveness, with the Proning Severe ARDS Patients landmark trial demonstrating a mortality benefit in patients with severe ARDS. As a result, expert consensus and societal...Read more

2022 27 Apr

COVID-19 has resulted in the death of over 4 million people worldwide. In severe cases of COVID-19, acute respiratory infection leads to severe pneumonia, which worries to progress hypoxaemia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).  Prolonged sessions in the prone position is an effective intervention to decrease mortality in these patients....Read more

2021 22 Feb

Prone position (PP) in awake, non-intubated patients with respiratory failure is a physiology-based ventilatory strategy that improves oxygenation and may decrease the need for intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Introduction During the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which produces coronavirus disease...Read more
