This research aims to determine the impact of prolonged prone positioning on mortality rates in severe ARDS patients.
Prolonged prone-positioning sessions were applied early in patients with severe ARDS
The trial was registered as NCT00527813
28-day mortality reduced significantly in the prone group compared to controls, with a p-value <0.01
90-day mortality showed a significant decrease in the prone positioning group, p-value <0.01

Implication

Randomized trial demonstrates reduced mortality in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, suggesting early intervention can save lives.

Abstract

In patients with severe ARDS, early application of prolonged prone-positioning sessions significantly decreased 28-day and 90-day mortality. (Funded by the Programme Hospitalier de Recherche Clinique National 2006 and 2010 of the French Ministry of Health; PROSEVA ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00527813.).
