Using prone positioning to predict neurological complications in ARDS patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to collect medical records, demographic characteristics, and clinical data from patients with moderate to severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) who require prone positioning treatment. The study will take place at multiple hospitals in Chengdu, Sichuan, from March 2025 to March 2026. By analyzing cerebral hemodynamics, the researchers hope to identify potential neurological complications associated with this treatment approach.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* Age≥18 years
* Meet the diagnostic criteria for ARDS(Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome),with PaO₂/FiO₂\<150 mmHg,and requiring prone ventilation

Exclusion Criteria:

* Presence of contraindications to prone positioning(e.g.,head and neck injuries,spinal instability,severe intracranial hypertension)
* Severe neurological diseases(e.g.,cerebral hemorrhage,cerebral infarction,intracranial space-occupying lesions)that may affect the monitoring of cerebral hemodynamics
