Summary

Lateral (30°) and alternating positioning (change of side every 30 minutes) carried out on specific beds, could be an alternative or complement to prone positioning (PP) in ARDS patients. The combination of lateralization in prone position has not been studied. The dynamic created by lateralization could allow better overall ventilation during PP, thus making it possible to further improve oxygenation. The main objective of this prospective, bicentric, open, single group study with repeated measures will be to demonstrate that the addition of repeated 30-minute periods of 30° lateralization improves pulmonary aeration in the supine and prone positions in patients with moderate to severe ARDS.

Conditions

  • ARDS

Interventions

OTHER

pulmonary aeration in supine and ventral decubitus

The addition of repeated periods of 30 minutes of lateralization of 30° amplitude in dorsal decubitus and in ventral decubitus in patients with moderate to severe ARDS. Included patients will benefit from sessions of lateral decubitus for 30 minutes on each side (with an inclination of 30°) with alternation right/left (total one hour). During this period, the upper part of the bed will be inclined by 30°. Patients will then be positioned in strict prone position for a period of 6 hours after which, the same pattern of alternating lateral decubitus will be applied for 12 hours while the patient is still in the prone position. After reversal in supine position, an observation period of 1 hour will be respected before carrying out the last measurements. The total duration of the intervention will be 20 hours.
