Predicting early prone position ventilation responsiveness in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome based on electrical impedance tomography: a prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Studies have demonstrated that over 20% of patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) do not exhibit significant improvement in oxygenation following prone positioning ventilation (PPV). It is vital to investigate the modifiable characteristics associated with PPV, which would facilitate targeted interventions and minimize the adverse effects of PPV. This study aimed to investigate the physiological effects of PPV by using electrical impedance tomography (EIT), and to explore the predictors of response to PPV in patients with moderate to severe ARDS during the early phase.

Methods

This is a single-center, prospective, observational study. Ninety-four adult patients who were diagnosed with moderate-to-severe ARDS according to the Be
