Mechanisms of oxygenation responses to proning and recruitment in COVID-19 pneumonia

Sandra Rossi et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms of oxygenation response to proning and recruitment maneuvers in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. The findings indicate that the balance between resolution of dorsal atelectasis and formation of ventral atelectasis may play a key role in determining oxygenation responses. Patients assessed during the third week showed higher levels of consolidated tissue, potentially leading to fibrotic-like changes in the lung over time.

Summary: Awake prone positioning can reduce the need for intubation in patients with COVID-19-related acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure, particularly among those requiring advanced respiratory support or treated in the ICU.

Summary: Repeated prone positioning in intubated COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome showed improved oxygenation after the initial session, with better outcomes in patients discharged from hospital compared to those who required ECMO or died.

The impact of ventilation-perfusion inequality in COVID-19: a computational model

Mattia Busana et al.

Summary: It is hypothesized that COVID-19 infection may lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome, with severe gas exchange derangements possibly associated with minor pulmonary infiltrates. A computational model suggests that a significant ventilation-perfusion inequality exists in COVID-19 patients, with a likely cause of observed hypoxemia being severe hyperperfusion of poorly ventilated lung regions. High cardiac output and extensive microthrombosis in autopsy further support the hypothesis of pathological perfusion in non/poorly ventilated lung tissue.

COVID-19 pneumonia: pathophysiology and management

Luciano Gattinoni et al.

Summary: COVID-19 pneumonia is a developing disease with evolving clinical features over time. In the acute phase, altered lung perfusion is the primary mechanism, while in the progression phase, patients may experience self-inflicted lung injury. As the disease advances, there is a shift towards irreversible lung fibrosis, leading to significant impairment in respiratory mechanics.

Carmen A. Pfortmueller et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 causes COVID-19, leading to a large number of ARDS patients. The mechanisms of CARDS include severe pulmonary infiltration/edema, altered alveolar homeostasis, and endothelial inflammation. Specific evidence-based medical interventions for CARDS are currently limited.

Awake prone positioning for hypoxaemic respiratory failure: past, COVID-19 and perspectives

Francois Touchon et al.

Summary: Prone positioning has shown to reduce mortality in intubated patients with respiratory distress syndrome by improving oxygenation. Recent studies have investigated the use of awake prone positioning in both COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients, showing promising results in improving oxygenation and respiratory rates. More controlled trials are needed to assess the clinical benefits and optimal prone positioning regimens.
