OBJECTIVES: Prone positioning allows to improve oxygenation and decrease mortality rate
in COVID-19–associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (C-ARDS). However, the …

Paediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) is a heterogeneous clinical

Background: Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) optimization during prone positioning
remains under debate in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This study aimed to …

Spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), commonly caused by the rupture of an
intracerebral aneurysm (85% of all cases of SAH), remains a life-threatening condition with …

Background Prone positioning improves oxygenation in patients with acute respiratory
