AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how lying in a prone position affects the oxygen levels in ARDS patients who couldn't benefit from recruitment maneuvers at high altitudes (2260 meters).
- Researchers divided 41 patients into two categories (ARDSp and ARDSexp) based on the cause of their condition and then further separated them into groups that lay either on their back (supine) or stomach (prone) for comparison of results.
- Results showed that the prone position significantly improved oxygenation levels, especially in the ARDSexp group, with notable increases in oxygenation metrics observed one to four hours after starting ventilation compared to supine positions.
Article Abstract
Objective: To assess the effect of prone position on the oxygenation of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) after recruitment maneuvers (RM) failure at high altitudes.
Methods: Forty-one ARDS patients who were invalid for RM therapy at the altitude of 2260 metres area hospital were enrolled[mean oxygenation index (PaO(2)/FiO(2)) increased than RM<20% considered as RM invalid]. All were divided into acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDSp) and extra-acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDSexp) based on different etiology, and each group was randomly divided into the supine and the prone position group, i.e. that ARDSp prone position group (n=11), ARDSp supine group (n=9), ARDSexp prone position group (n=10), and ARDSexp supine group (n=11). Before ventilation and 1, 2, 3, 4 hours after ventilation, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO(2)), PaO(2)/FiO(2), static lung compliance (Cst), airway resistance (Raw) were monitored.
Results: One hour after ventilation in ARDSexp prone position group, PaO(2)/FiO(2) was significantly higher than before ventilation (157.4±40.6 mm Hg vs. 129.3±48.7 mm Hg, P<0.05), and increased by ventilation time, peaked at 4 hours (219.1±41.1 mm Hg). Within 3 hours ventilation in ARDSexp prone position group, PaO(2)/FiO(2) was significantly higher compared with the other three groups, and there were no significant differences among the other three groups. PaO(2)/FiO(2) in ARDSp prone position group and ARDSexp prone position group at 4 hours of ventilation were significantly higher compared with the corresponding supine group (208.8±39.7 mm Hg vs. 127.4±47.1 mm Hg, 219.1±41.1 mm Hg vs. 124.9±50.8 mm Hg, both P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in Cst before and after ventilation, and there was no significant changes among the groups. Raw in ARDSp prone position group at 4 hours of ventilation were significantly reduced than before ventilation (6.8±1.7 cm H(2)O×L(-1)×s(-1) vs. 10.7±1.8 cm H(2)O×L(-1)×s(-1), P<0.05), and significantly lower than the other three groups. There was no statistically significant difference in RAW among other three groups at each time point.
Conclusion: Prone position can improve RM oxygenation invalid ARDS patients at high altitudes.

Repositioning a patient from the prone to supine position can delay the initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Investigators used high-fidelity simulation to assess the time to initiate chest compressions and the time during which compressions did not occur for supine and prone CPR. Sixty participants completed a knowledge assessment before and after attending an education session and completing two simulations (ie, supine, prone).

Materials And Methods: It was a randomized clinical trial. Patients in whom superior calyceal puncture was done were divided into two groups by systematic sampling method, group 1 (horizontal bolster) and group 2 (vertical bolster), 50 patients in each group.

Scrub typhus is an infectious disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi. It is transmitted through bite of chigger mite larvae and presents with symptoms such as fever, myalgia, headache, rash, and a characteristic eschar at the site of mite bites. This report details the case of a woman exhibiting acute febrile illness, bilateral pneumonia, and severe hypoxemia, prompting suspicion of scrub typhus due to the presence of a typical eschar on the pubic mound.

Background: Prone position has been diffusely applied in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients. Our aim is ascertaining the association between the physiologic response and the length of the first cycle of prone position and intensive care unit (ICU) mortality.
Methods: International registry including COVID-19 adult patients who underwent prone positioning.
