Conditions

ARDS, Coronavirus Disease 2019, Mechanical Ventilation Pressure High

Brief summary

Prone positioning improves oxygenation in patients with ARDS (1-3). Patients with severe ARDS due to COVID-19 are candidates for prone position. It should be started within 36-48 h and maintained 1, 3). Prone ventilationARDS based on a randomized trial that showed a mortality benefit (PROSEVA) (3). The improvement of oxygenation occurs by making ventilation more homogeneous, limiting ventilator-associated lung injury (4-6). Prone positioning was as effective in improving oxygenation, static respiratory system compliance (Crs) (7). Higher PEEP should be applied when there is a high recruitability potential of the lung. This study aimed to investigate whether prone positioning changes the recruitability position of the lung.in COVID-ARDS.

Interventions

OTHEROxygenation

Oxygenation will be calculated as PaO2/ FiO2 ratio.Static compliance will be calculated as tidal volume divided driving pressure.The potential for lung recruitment will be assessed by means of the R/I ratio (10).
