Abstract

In patients of various ages undergoing mechanical ventilation, it has been observed that positions other than the standard supine position, such as the prone position, may improve respiratory parameters and outcome. The benefits of these positions have not been clearly defined for critically ill newborns receiving mechanical ventilation.
