Does lying flat change the numbers? a small study tests a critical ARDS measurement
NCT ID NCT02816359
Summary
This study aimed to understand if a patient's position in bed changes a key measurement used to set ventilator support for people with severe lung failure (ARDS). Researchers measured pressure in the esophagus in 11 critically ill patients while they were lying flat and while their head was raised to 30 degrees. The goal was to see if this common diagnostic reading depends on how the patient is positioned.
