Please.  Wait for medical professionals to weigh in.

This is a study about prone positioning for ventilated patients.

Any pulmonologists around to say what their institutions’ practice is for non-ventilated patients?

Here’s text from that study;

[quote]According to the available data, the authors conclude that: 1) oxygenation improves in ∼70–80% of patients with early acute respiratory distress syndrome; 2) the beneficial effects of oxygenation reduce after 1 week of mechanical ventilation; 3) [b]the aetiology of acute respiratory distress syndrome may markedly affect the response to prone positioning; 4) extreme care is necessary when the manoeuvre is performed; [/b]5) pressure sores are frequent and related to the number of pronations; 6) the supports used to prone and during positioning are different and nonstandardised among centres; and 7) intensive care unit and hospital stay and mortality still remain high despite prone positioning.[/quote][/quote]
