Hemodynamic and Respiratory Changes following Prone Position in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Patients: A Clinical Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Limited data are available for the oxygenation changes following prone position in relation to hemodynamic and pulmonary vascular variations in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), using reliable invasive methods. We aimed to assess oxygenation and hemodynamic changes between the supine and prone posture in patients with ARDS and identify parameters associated with oxygenation improvement.

Methods

Eighteen patients with ARDS under protective ventilation were assessed using advanced pulmonary artery catheter monitoring. Physiologic parameters were recorded at baseline supine position, 1 h and 18 h following prone position.

Results

The change in the Oxygenation Index (ΔOI) between supine and 18 h prone significantly correlated to the concurrent change
