Effects of patient positioning on respiratory mechanics in mechanically ventilated ICU patients

Abstract: Changes in the body position of patients receiving mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit are frequent. Contrary to healthy humans, little data has explored the physiological impact of position on respiratory mechanics. The objective of present paper is to review the available data on the effect of changing body position on respiratory mechanics in ICU patients receiving mechanical ventilation. Supine position (lying flat) or lateral position do not seem beneficial for critically ill patients in terms o… Show more

“…Various physiological changes may be implicated by the occurrence of blood oxygen desaturation during DNPs. Patient mobilization is one of the most important, and in particular lateralization, which can induce a decrease in lung compliance, alveolar derecruitment, mobilization of respiratory-tract secretions, airway irritations and coughing, ventilator-patient asynchrony [10,[23][24][25][26], and an increase in oxygen consumption [5,6]. All those physiological events could be induced by mobilization itself and/or the stress response associated with pain [10,[27][28][29].…”

“…Prone positioning is thought to be a beneficial strategy for patients with ARDS as it allows for greater chest wall expansion than the supine position, thereby improving alveolar recruitment and the ventilation/perfusion ratio. These benefits are thought to improve survival outcomes owing to improved oxygenation and reduced lung injury[ 11 , 12 ].…”

“…In the lateral recumbent, Flower's position and supine, the test subjects had their heads resting on a pillow. Only the right lateral recumbent was included without the left one, because the bilateral respiratory movements have been proved to be similar [25]. At each posture, the test was repeated twice in order to investigate the repeatability.…”

“…The lung has the largest volume capacity at the sitting posture [31]. In lateral recumbent posture, lung and chest wall compliances decrease, which limits the amplitude of thoracic respiration movement [25]. Small respiratory movement amplitude could result in miscounting of RR.…”
