heal.abstractThis study examined the effect of the prone position on mechanically ventilated patients with hydrostatic pulmonary edema (HPE). Eight patients with acute HPE and mechanically ventilated in the prone position (Group 1) were studied. Six patients with acute HPE and mechanically ventilated in the supine position (Group 2), 20 patients with ARDS (Group 3), and 5 patients with pulmonary fibrosis (PF) (Group 4) served as control patients. Patients with HPE, who after being mechanically ventilated for at least 6 h needed an FI(O(2)) >/= 0.6 to achieve an Sa(O(2)) of approximately 90%, and did not respond to recruitment maneuvers, were turned to the prone position. Parameters of oxygenation, lung mechanics, and hemodynamics were determined in both the supine and prone positions. All patients with HPE exhibited improvement of oxygenation when they were placed in the prone position. The Pa(O(2))/FI(O(2)) ratio increased from 72 +/- 16 in the supine position to 208 +/- 61 after 6 h in the prone position (p < 0.001); the rise in Pa(O(2)) was persistent, without detrimental effect on hemodynamics. Fifteen of 20 patients with ARDS (75%) improved oxygenation when in the prone position. The Pa(O(2))/FI(O(2)) ratio increased from 83 +/- 14 in the supine position to 189 +/- 34 after 6 h in the prone position (p < 0.001). In contrast, 5 of 20 patients with ARDS (25%) and none of the patients with PF responded favorably to prone positioning. Patients with HPE and early ARDS responded better to prone positioning than did patients with late ARDS and PF. Patients with HPE and ventilated in the supine position had a lower Pa(O(2))/FI(O(2)) ratio and the duration of mechanical ventilation was longer compared with that of patients in the prone position. Our results show that the prone position may be a useful maneuver in treating patients with severe hypoxemia due to pulmonary edema. The presence of pulmonary edema, as in early ARDS and HPE predicts a beneficial effect of the prone position on gas exchange. In contrast, the presence of fibrosis, as in late ARDS and pulmonary fibrosis, predisposes to nonresponsiveness to prone positioning.en
