[Positioning therapy for intensive care patients].

Dtsch Med Wochenschr

August 2024

Klinik für Anästhesiologie und Intensivmedizin, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Berlin, Deutschland.

Article Synopsis
  • - The updated S3 guideline for "Positioning Therapy and Mobilization of Critically Ill Patients" introduces significant methodological changes and evidence-based insights, focusing on a more tailored application of recommendations for better patient care in ICUs.
  • - Early mobilization is emphasized to begin within 72 hours of ICU admission, supported by a structured scoring system to optimize patient rehabilitation, while suggesting specific actions such as standing and transferring from bed to chair even during treatment like ECMO.
  • - New strategies include promoting semi-recumbent positioning for intubated patients, recommending prone positioning for those with ARDS, and incorporating new sections on assistive devices and neuromuscular electrical stimulation to enhance recovery processes.

Background: The impact of mechanical ventilation on the survival of patients supported with veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) due to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains still a focus of research.

Methods: Recent guidelines, randomized trials, and registry data underscore the importance of lung-protective ventilation during respiratory and cardiac support on ECMO.

Results: This approach includes decreasing mechanical power delivery by reducing tidal volume and driving pressure as much as possible, using low or very low respiratory rate, and a personalized approach to positive-end expiratory pressure (PEEP) setting.

Article Synopsis
  • * Key aspects of managing severe cases include deciding when to start non-invasive support, recognizing treatment failures, and implementing palliative or de-escalation strategies when improvement happens.
  • * The document compiles insights from four scientific societies and 25 experts to enhance care approaches for severe COVID-19, reflecting on recent evidence rather than old guidelines from acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Background: Awake proning in spontaneously breathing patients with hypoxemic acute respiratory failure was applied during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic to improve oxygenation while avoiding tracheal intubation. An updated systematic review and meta-analysis on the topic was published.

Methods: The Clinical practice committee (CPC) of the Scandinavian Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (SSAI) assessed the clinical practice guideline "Awake proning in patients with COVID-19-related hypoxemic acute respiratory failure: A rapid practice guideline" for possible endorsement.
