The use of pre-ECMO pronepositioning and neuromuscular blockers also increased during the same period.
3
However, there is limited evidence about which patients would gain most survival benefit from pronepositioning.
4
Functional residual capacity was unchanged by pronepositioning.
5
Conclusions: During mechanical ventilation, lung reinflation and recruitment by the pronepositioning were primarily localized in the dorso-caudal lung.
6
After pronepositioning, cephalocaudal inflation gradient was reduced, and gas and tissue proportions became more uniform along cephalocaudal axis.
7
This article aims to review all ocular complications associated with pronepositioning, with a focus on challenges posed by COVID-19.
8
To more effectively administer advanced ARDS therapies, such as pronepositioning, better approaches for ARDS recognition will also be required.
9
Introduction: The ongoing pandemic of COVID-19 brought to the fore pronepositioning as treatment for patients with acute respiratory failure.
10
Adjunctive therapies in ARDS include a conservative fluid management strategy, as well as neuromuscular blockade and pronepositioning in moderate-to-severe disease.
11
Supervised pronepositioning while the infant is awake, avoiding excessive use of carriers, and upright positioning while awake are also recommended.
12
Conclusion: In acute lung injury, pronepositioning induced more uniform distribution of gas and tissue along cephalocaudal axis by reducing cephalocaudal inflation gradient.
13
The improvement in oxygenation after the first pronepositioning was a significant predictor of survival in patients with moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome.
14
A total of 116 patients receiving pronepositioning were included, of whom 45 (38.8%) were ICU survivors.
15
No major trial evaluating pronepositioning for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has incorporated a high-positive end-expiratory pressure (high-PEEP) strategy despite complementary physiological rationales.
16
The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to a surge in critical care capacity and pronepositioning practices which may increase the risk of ocular complications.
