Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the effects of proning (turning patients onto their stomachs) in intubated COVID-19 patients suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), specifically examining how it influences oxygenation and other respiratory parameters.
- - A total of 42 patients were analyzed over 191 proning sessions, revealing significant improvements in oxygen levels (PaO/FiO) and reductions in the Aa-gradient (a measure of lung efficiency) during the sessions, highlighting proning's positive effects on respiratory function.
- - The findings suggest that while immediate benefits in oxygenation metrics were noted, other measures like compliance and ventilatory ratio showed only slight improvements, indicating that monitoring for treatment failure in these cases is still critical
