Early application of prone positioning did not help patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) -- mostly from COVID -- get off venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ...

Awake prone positioning for 6 hours daily vs standard care shows a high probability of reduced intubation and/or death in nonintubated patients with COVID-related hypoxemic respiratory failure.

Awake prone positioning is a well-established non-pharmacological intervention to improve lung oxygenation. During the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, this process has received ...

Prone positioning improves oxygenation and decreases mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). 1 This print supplement to the video reviews the procedure for placing ...

—These investigators identified predictors of 60-day survival in patients with influenza pneumonia-related ARDS receiving prone positioning during mechanical ventilation. Reviewed by Ware Kuschner, MD ...

Although placing patients with acute respiratory failure in a prone (face down) position improves their oxygenation 60 to 70 percent of the time, the effect on survival is not known. The mortality ...

Last fall I admitted a 41-year-old patient with hypoxic respiratory failure to the intensive care unit. He rapidly declined, and I consulted the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) service at ...
