Proning a 51y/o m with ARDs secondary to PNA in the ICU. Requiring FiO2 of 100%, PEEP of 10 on day 1 of admission to unit. Proned for 18hrs and Lasix 20mg BID day two and able to drop FiO2 to 60% with O2 sat 94%. There has been some discussion among the CC/Pulm team and the ICU about the indications/benefits of proning ARDS patients at this facility. Thoughts and experience from CC/Pulm and CC folks?
