Activity Summary:
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is present in every critical care unit and has a mortality rate of approximately 40%. So, appreciation for the best evidence and how can we incorporate that evidence into practice is a lifesaving proposition. A large healthcare system utilizes its own interprofessional guideline that delineates criteria for when and how to easily prone a patient. This presentation provides information on the latest evidence-based practice on ARDS and introduces a practical how-to guide for manual pruning.
Objectives:
• Review updated evidence guidelines and research for the treatment of ARDS patients.
• Apply specific knowledge of prone positioning with step-by-step procedural guidelines.
• Analyze clinical care with case studies and patient outcomes.
