1. Paco2 Response to Pronation Predicts Survival in ALI/ARDS

"We have become so fixated on oxygenation as an indicator of improvement in patients with ALI and ARDS that we have forgotten the importance of carbon dioxide removal in these patients," stressed Thomas Bein, MD, in an interview. Dr. Bein, a Professor of Anesthesia at the University Hospital Regensburg in Germany, wrote an editorial commenting on the Gattinoni study.[2]

"Intensive care physicians know from experience that the prone position is effective in ALI and ARDS," said Dr. Bein. "But this study , returns us to a place from which we can recommend the prone position as an evidence-based measure." Dr. Gattinoni's 2001 trial was a setback that made such a recommendation more difficult, Dr. Bein explained, because it failed to associate pronation with improved survival in ALI and ARDS.
