Yes, prone positioning is recommended for adults with moderate-to-severe COVID-19 ARDS, especially when receiving mechanical ventilation, as it improves oxygenation and may reduce mortality.
Read the full answer →Yes, AI shows promise in ICU care for tasks like ARDS subphenotyping, ventilator synchrony, and imaging analysis, but real-world use remains limited by data quality and implementation challenges.
Read the full answer →Nasal high-flow oxygen cannot replace CPAP for primary respiratory support in babies with respiratory distress syndrome because clinical trials show it leads to significantly higher treatment failure rates compared to CPAP.
Read the full answer →Research shows that LISA and ENSURE are equally good at reducing the need for mechanical ventilation in preterm babies with respiratory distress syndrome.
Read the full answer →Prone positioning for COVID-19 ARDS improves oxygenation and may reduce mortality, especially with extended sessions (>24 h), but increases pressure injury risk.
Read the full answer →Yes, prolonged prone positioning (≥24 hours) improves oxygenation in ARDS, but its effect on mortality is uncertain and it increases pressure injury risk.
Read the full answer →Yes, lung ultrasound is a reliable, non-invasive tool for diagnosing ARDS, with high specificity (87%) and good sensitivity (75%) according to a large meta-analysis.
