Prone positioning before extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome: A retrospective multicenter study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) subjected to prone positioning before extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Design

A retrospective analysis of a multicenter cohort was carried out.

Setting

Patients admitted to the Intensive Care Units of 11 hospitals in Korea.

Patients

Patients were divided into those who underwent prone positioning before ECMO (n=28) and those who did not (n=34).

Interventions

None.

Variables of interest

Thirty-day mortality, ECMO weaning failure rate, mechanical ventilation weaning success rate, mechanical ventilation-free days at day 60.

Results

The prone group had lower median peak inspiratory pressure and lower median dynamic driving p
