The Effect of Prone Positioning After Lung Transplantation

Prone positioning has become a standard therapy in acute respiratory distress syndrome to improve oxygenation and decrease mortality. However, little is known about prone positioning in lung transplant recipients. This large, singe-center analysis investigated whether prone positioning improves gas...

Zusammenfassung:	Prone positioning has become a standard therapy in acute respiratory distress syndrome to improve oxygenation and decrease mortality. However, little is known about prone positioning in lung transplant recipients. This large, singe-center analysis investigated whether prone positioning improves gas exchange after lung transplantation. Clinical data of 583 patients were analyzed. Prone position was considered in case of impaired gas exchange Pao2/fraction of oxygen in inhaled air (
