Abstract

Prone positioning has been used for many years as an alveolar recruitment strategy in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Prone positioning in ARDS improves oxygenation and demonstrated recently its effectiveness on prognosis. Extrapulmonary etiologies of ARDS include abdominal emergencies. In cases of severe hypoxemia in the early postoperative period, intensivists discuss prone positioning based on the risk/benefit ratio.
