About this document
Prone Ventilation For Adult Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome - UpToDate by Balachandra S.R. is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Prone ventilation is a strategy used in the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to improve oxygenation when traditional ventilation fails. Studies indicate that prone positioning can enhance gas exchange, reduce lung compression, and improve perfusion, leading to better oxygenation and potential mortality benefits in severe ARDS patients. It is recommended as a rescue therapy for those with severe ARDS who do not respond to conventional lung protective strategies.
