OS BENEFÍCIOS DA POSIÇÃO PRONA NO PACIENTE ADULTO COM SÍNDROME DA ANGÚSTIA RESPIRATÓRIA AGUDA (SARA).

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a sharp lesion characterized mainly for lung swelling causing hypoxemia and breathing insufficiency. The ventilation support has as objective improved the patient oxygenation. The prone position is used to improve the relationship between perfusion and ventilation, increasing the lung volume, decreasing the effect of the heart area on the lungs. That position decreases the atelectasis and improves the oxygenation. Therefore the objctive of this work is to give prominence to the benefits which the prone position it provides to the patient with ARDS.
