Hemodynamic effects of extended prone position sessions in ARDS.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hemodynamic response to prone position (PP) has never been studied in a large series of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The primary aim of this study was to estimate the rate of PP sessions associated with cardiac index improvement. Secondary objective was to describe hemodynamic response to PP and during the shift from PP to supine position.

Methods

The study was a single-center retrospective observational study, performed on ARDS patients, undergoing at least one PP session under monitoring by transpulmonary thermodilution. PP sessions performed more than 10 days after ARDS onset, or with any missing cardiac index measurements before (T₁), at the end (T₃), and after the PP session (T₄) were excluded. Cha
