Community Experience With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in the Prone Position.

Unlabelled: Mechanical ventilation in the prone position has been shown to improve outcomes in randomized trials of patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome and is recommended in clinical practice guidelines. However, data is lacking on the results of attempts to implement this practice in the community outside of clinical trials. To describe our early outcomes implementing mechanical ventilation in the prone position.

Reducing Tracheostomy-Related Pressure Injuries.

An interprofessional team was established to prevent tracheostomy-related acquired pressure injuries. The team performed an in-depth analysis of practice from tracheostomy insertion through postinsertion care. A literature evaluation identified best practices, and a root cause analysis for all tracheostomy-related pressure injury cases identified common causes.
