Impact of prone positioning duration on the outcome of patients receiving venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for acute respiratory distress syndrome: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Research has shown that prone positioning (PP) improves the survival of patients receiving venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, the reported impact of PP duration on the outcome of V-V ECMO patients with ARDS varies across studies.

Methods

A meta-analysis approach was used to identify studies that investigated the impact of PP duration on the outcome of ARDS patients who were treated with V-V ECMO; the following databases were used: MEDLINE, Embase, Wanfang, and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure. The primary outcome was cumulative survival. Secondary outcomes were length of stay in an intensive care unit, exchange of arterial blood gases, and adverse events.
