Summary

The aim of this experimental study was to investigate the effect of prone position use on ventilator values, blood gas and ventilator-associated pneumonia in intensive care unit patients. Between June 2021 and January 2022, 40 trials and 40 control patients were included in the intensive care units of two private hospitals and received mechanical ventilation support. The mechanical ventilator values, arterial blood gases and ventilator-related pneumonia conditions were evaluated and followed for at least 5 to 10 days just before the position was given by comparing the prone position (PP) and the patients were brought back into the supine position. The data were collected using 'Patient Follow-up Charts', 'Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score', 'Braden Pressure Half Risk Assessment' and 'Ramsey Sedation Scale' prepared in line with patient introduction form and evidence-based guidelines. In addition, life findings, cultural results and blood gas analyses were performed. Statistical analysis was performed using the 'NCSS (Number Cruncher Statistical System) 2007 (Kaysville, Utah, USA)' program. 'Descriptive statistics, parametric and nonparametric tests' were used to evaluate the data. The level of statistical signiation was considered 'p\<0.05'.

Conditions

  • Intensive Care Unit Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

practicing prone position

Wash your hands. Prepare the materials. Before starting the procedure, inform the patient and explain the procedure. Ensure patient privacy. Raise the guardrail opposite the work area. Take the proper posture. Pay attention to body mechanics. Lay the patient on their back in the middle of the bed. Place a pillow under the patient's head to cover their shoulders. Extend arms to side of body with elbows slightly bent inward (flexion). Place a pillow under your arms. Place roller in palm. Place a thin pillow or a thinly folded towel/sheet under the waist. Place a thin towel under the knees. Support the bottom of the ankles with a pillow. Support the soles of the feet with a foot board. Raise the guardrail on the working side. Inform the patient that they can stay in this position for a maximum of 2 hours.
