ICU patients with COVID19 have brought the subject of proning to the fore in the last twelve months. It is well documented now that patients suffering from ARDS as a complication of COVID can experience an immediate improvement from being proned including increased lung recruitment and oxygen saturation, as well as reduced work of breathing. The benefits not only apply to those patients who have already been intubated and ventilated but also to those who are at risk of requiring intubation, many in this latter category can avoid intubation altogether by being maintained in the prone position studies have shown. Alma Medical are pleased to introduce a range of prone pillows which offer firm, comfortable support for proned patients whether undergoing oxygen therapy, surgical procedures or interventional radiological procedures such as lithotripsy. These pillows come in three sizes. For more information and prices fill out an enquiry form on Kontakt/Zamówienie.
