Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The ventilation-perfusion matching status at target achievement during the first prone positioning.;

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
the change of VQ match status during the second to fourth PP(Match1,Dead1,Shunt1,Match2,Dead2,Shunt2);the change of ventilation and gas exchange indices during the first to fourth PP (OI,PaCO2);the change of Respiratory mechanics indices during the first to fourth PP (Cst, mPaw Ri);Duration of ECMO support;the change of ventilation distribution characteristics during the first to fourth PP (LPB, GI, COV, Ventral and Dorsal ventilation ratio, ROI1, ROI2, ROI3 and ROI4 ventilation ratio).;the change of pulmonary perfusion parameter during the first to fourth PP (HPB);the change of macrohemodynamic parameters during the first to fourth PP (HR,MAP, NEE, CO and CI);the change of Oxygenation indicators during the first to fourth PP(SpO2).;the change of oxygen delivery and consumption indices during the first to fourth PP (DO2, VO2, DO2I, VO2I and O2ER);the change of systemic perfusion indices during the first to fourth PP (lac);the change of sublingual microcirculation parameters during the first to fourth PP (De Backer Score, TVD, PPV, PVD, MFI and HI);the change of ECMO operational monitoring metrics during the first to fourth PP (SpreO?, Hb, Ppre, Ppost , ?P and Pinlet);Prognostic indicators: all-cause 28-day mortality, successful ECMO weaning rate, duration of mechanical ventilation, duration of ventilator-free within 28 days, length of ICU stay, length of hospital stay, duration of receiving ECMO, and adjunctive therapies use (glucocorticoids, continuous renal replacement therapy, neuromuscular blocking agents, and tracheotomy rate);
