Activity Summary

Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes

Although Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome -induced hypoxemia can lead to brain damage and affect neurocognitive outcomes, cerebral oxygenation during prone positioning remains insufficiently explored. As a result, the use of prone positioning in patients with acute brain injury is the subject of debate. The purpose of this study was to assess the evolution of cerebral oxygenation during prone positioning among patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

Objectives

  • Assess the effect of prone positioning on cerebral oxygenation
  • Evaluate the impact of prone positioning on cardiac output
  • Describe the reliability of near-infrared spectroscopy for assessing cerebral oxygenation.
