“…Nonetheless, a recent survey by the University Hospital Consortium revealed that compliance with the simple and no-cost intervention of elevating the head is woefully low, and a study by Heyland et al revealed that the head of bed is on average elevated to 29°and not 45° (80). Kinetic bed therapy has also led to a reduction in the incidence of VAP (46,48,69,72,97,202,213). However, this is costly and has not been directly compared to head-of-bed elevation, a nocost option.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] Reports have described the use of CLRT to decrease the duration of mechanical ventilation and the incidence of lower respiratory tract infection and increase the length of time before the development of respiratory tract infection and pneumonia. [1][2][3][4] Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a known sequela of liver failure that is characterized by liver disease, pulmonary vascular dilation, and abnormal arterial oxygenation, which can result in severe hypoxemia. 5 It was previously considered to be a relative contraindication to orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) because of the increased risk for mortality, both in the perioperative and postoperative periods.…”
