About

Prone positioning (PP) reduces mortality in the most severe cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Despite the benefits of PP, this technique presents adverse effects such as an increased risk of bedsores, linked to the duration, which must be around 16 consecutive hours.

There are 2 PP techniques:

Positioning with arms alongside the body
Swimmer's position At present, no study compares or has compared prospectively, the impact of the type of position used during ventral decubitus on mortality and the incidence of pressure sores, nor on secondary effects in intensive care.

Pressure transducers are available for instantaneous measurement of pressures between 2 interfaces. The investigators have acquired a pressure-measuring device, a mattress topper which is attached to the resuscitation mattress and which, connected to a PC, provides a live display of the pressures between the patient and the mattress.

The investigators would like to use their device to measure pressures during these 2 PP in healthy volunteers, which would enable them to obtain the world's first data on the real pressures generated during PP.
