Implication

Observational study finds passive orthostatic positioning improves ventilatory mechanics and GCS in ICU patients, indicating its safety and feasibility.

Key Points

Passive orthostatic positioning improved tidal volume and GCS scores in ICU patients.
Marked decreases in driving pressure were observed immediately after the intervention (P < .001).
Physiological parameters were analyzed using a repeated-measures linear mixed model, confirming significant changes.
The findings suggest potential benefits of orthostatic positioning for early mobilization in mechanically ventilated patients.
