Pronation Improves Respiratory Outcomes in Neonates with Respiratory Failure
This study found that 6-hour periods of pronation (lying on the stomach) can improve gas exchange and lung function in neonates (newborn infants) with three types of respiratory failure, without causing any negative effects... read more
Prone Position Minimizes the Exacerbation of Effort-dependent Lung Injury
Prone position, independent of positive end-expiratory pressure levels, diminishes a maldistribution of lung stress and inflation imposed by spontaneous effort and mitigates spontaneous effort, resulting in less effort-dependent... read more
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and Pronation Outside the ICUs in COVID-19 ARDS
Continuous positive airway pressure with patient mobilization (including pronation) was effective and safe in patients with ARDS due to COVID-19 managed outside the intensive care unit setting during the pandemic. Of 90... read more
Prone Positioning of Nonintubated Patients with COVID-19
Despite the significant variability in frequency and duration of prone positioning and respiratory supports applied, prone positioning was associated with improvement in oxygenation variables without any reported serious... read more
Awake prone positioning does not reduce the risk of intubation in COVID-19 treated with high-flow nasal oxygen therapy
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first multicenter study that prospectively evaluated the benefits and the role of HFNO combined with awake prone positioning in the prevention of intubation in an adjusted large cohort... read more
Outcomes of COVID-19 Patients Admitted to Australian ICUs During Early Pandemic Phase
During the early phase of the pandemic in Australia, patients admitted to ICU with COVID-19 had lower mortality and longer length of stay than reported from other regions. These findings reinforce the importance of ensuring... read more
