Abstract Background: Prone positioning improves survival in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) by reducing ventilator-induced lung injury and enhancing ventilation–perfusion matching. Whether these physiological benefits translate to patients..

Abstract Background Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe lung condition characterized by diffuse alveolar damage and hypoxemia. Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) supports gas exchange and reduces ventilator-induced..

Abstract Objectives: To assess the association of timing to prone positioning (PP) during venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) with the probability of being discharged alive from the ICU at..

Abstract Limited data are available on the use of the prone position in cardiac surgery. Concerns in performing this maneuver in open cardiac surgery due to the risk of post-sternotomy..

Abstract There is sufficient evidence to show that prone positioning improves oxygenation and respiratory mechanics and is also associated with lower mortality in patients with moderate to severe ARDS. However,..

Prone positioning (PP) has shown benefits in patients with refractory hypoxemia from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).1 The EOLIA trial demonstrated extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be used for patients with..
