Prone Position for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome. A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Abstract
RATIONALE: The application of prone positioning for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has evolved, with recent trials focusing on patients with more severe ARDS, and applying prone ventilation for more prolonged periods.
OBJECTIVES: This review evaluates the effect of prone positioning on 28-day mortality (primary outcome) compared with conventional mechanical ventilation in the supine position for adults with ARDS.
