About

Prone position (PP) is a key component to treat hypoxemia in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, most studies evaluating PP effects in patients with ARDS exclude those with brain-injuries without providing any medical evidence. This prospectice observational study aimed to investigate if prone positioning leads to significant modification of cerebral perfusion in brain-injured patients with ARDS.
