Prone positioning for patients with ARDS

Objetivo: explorar, na literatura científica, práticas atuais de cuidado de enfermagem ou intervenções para pacientes com síndrome respiratório agudo grave (SRAG) submetidos à posição prona. Síntese do conteúdo: revisão integrativa, na qual foram realizadas buscas nas bases de dados PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science e LILACS em setembro de 2020 e janeiro de 2022, sem recorte temporal, por meio da questão deste estudo: “Quais são os cuidados de enfermagem para pacientes com SRAG submetidos à posição prona?”. Foram selecionados 15 artigos, a partir da busca nas bases de dados. Após a leitura, os cuidados encontrados foram categorizados em alinhamento do corpo para a prevenção de lesões neuromusculares, cuidados com equipamentos diversos, cuidados tegumentares e recomendações neurológicas. Conclusões: o enfermeiro deve ter conhecimento sobre as implicações e as complicações de se manter um paciente na posição prona. Tal conhecimento permitirá tomadas de decisões na construção ou no seguimento de protocolos institucionais que contribuam com a prevenção de riscos e resultem em melhores desfechos para o paciente.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is often associated with severe hypoxemia and a high mortality rate. Prone positioning is a well-established intervention for ARDS. It has been shown to improve oxygenation and prevent ventilator-induced lung injury due to the more uniform distribution of lung stress and strain. This narrative review aims to compare the various factors that may influence how prone positioning affects mortality rates. We will examine the duration of time a patient is in the prone position, severity of ARDS, use of lung-protective ventilation, and the time elapsed between ARDS diagnosis and placing a patient in the prone position. A literature review on prone positioning in ARDS was performed and searched data from PubMed and Google Scholar for articles published from 2010 to 2020. Although no single variable used during prone positioning reduces mortality rates in ARDS patients, combining several optimal conditions may yield increased survival benefits. Early initiation of extended prone positioning sessions combined with low tidal volumes shows encouraging results in severe ARDS patients. Future research on this subject should focus on further examining these variables in a study enrolling a larger number of subjects in a setting with adequately trained staff familiar with proper prone positioning techniques.
