Prevalence of Prone Positioning Use in ARDS Patients

NCT02842788 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 736

Last updated 2018-03-12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Prone positioning has been shown to improve survival in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, a recent large observational study found that prone positioning was used in only 7% of all ARDS patients, and 16% in the severe category. However, this study did not focus on the prone position per se. In present study, the investigators would like to explore the rate of use of prone positioning in ARDS patients and the reasons why this treatment was not applied. The present study is one-day prevalence study repeated four times over one year.

The hypothesis is that the rate of use of prone position is greater than 50% in the severe ARDS category.
