Joey A. Tabula, LS Ordillo, PP Remalante, A Wang

Abstract

Prone positioning has been proven to increase oxygenation among patients with ARDS. However, individual RCTs did not show a significant mortality reduction among ARDS patients in prone compared to supine positioning except in the recent PROSEVA study.
