Prone position ventilation-induced oxygenation improvement as a valuable predictor of survival in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome: a retrospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), prolonged and inappropriate use of prone position ventilation (PPV) is a known risk factor for mortality. Hence, it is critical to monitor patients' response to PPV and accurately differentiate responders from non-responders at an early stage. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between oxygenation improvement after three rounds of PPV and survival rate in patients with pulmonary ARDS. Additionally, we sought to identify the earliest turning point for escalation from PPV to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Methods

We performed a retrospective observational study from 2015 to 2023. We included adult patients who received invasive mechanical ventilation, underwent at least three peri
