Effects Generated on Arterial pCO2 by Postural Changes From 45 to 10 ° in ARDS Patients
Hypercapnia (arterial carbon dioxide levels more than 50 mmHg) is a severity and mortality marker in Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. In this way, arterial carbon dioxide (pCO2) reduction has been the reason for multiple therapeutic strategies. Therefore, we hypothesized that a 45 to 10 ° postural change in …
