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). Mean (SD) knowledge scores improved from 48.7% (17.4%) to 85.3% (14.7%) after the education and simulations (t = -12.32, P < .001). Prone CPR resulted in a significant reduction in the time to initiate chest compressions (13 seconds, prone; 314 seconds, supine; t = -31.79; P < .001) and a higher chest compression fraction (84% prone versus 42% supine; t = 19.1, P < .001). When compared to repositioning to supine, prone CPR decreased chest compression interruptions, and may therefore be beneficial during the perioperative period.

Study Design: Radiographic analysis.
Objective: Evaluate the anatomical relationships of the bowel to the lateral surgical corridor and the spine in various surgical positions.
Summary Of Background Data: Retroperitoneal transpsoas lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) may be performed with patients in the prone position, allowing for lateral and posterior approaches to the spine without repositioning the patient.

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.

Background: Awake prone positioning (APP) can reportedly reduce the need for intubation and help improve prognosis of patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) infected with COVID-19. However, its physiological mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the effect of APP on lung ventilation in patients with moderate-to-severe AHRF to better understand the effects on ventilation distribution and to prevent intubation in non-intubated patients.

Background: The prone position is commonly used in surgical procedures and is known to cause significant hemodynamic changes, particularly a reduction in cardiac output. This study aimed to explore the relationship between intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), airway pressure, and cardiac output during spine surgeries under general anesthesia.
Methods: Twenty-five patients undergoing elective spine surgery in the prone position were enrolled in this prospective observational study.
