Excerpt

Prone positioning (PP) has been used since the 1970s to improve oxygenation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Beyond its oxygenation benefits, PP plays a crucial role in the prevention of ventilator-induced lung injury and preservation or improvement of hemodynamics, leading to reduced mortality in selected ARDS patients. This article aims to provide a concise overview of key pathophysiological findings, supporting evidence, and practical considerations with PP. The application of PP in non-intubated patients will also be briefly discussed. …
