Rapid sequence intubation (RSI) is an advanced airway technique to perform endotracheal intubation in patients at high risk of aspiration. Although RSI is recognised as a life-saving technique and per...
We will use MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library to source studies from 1946 to 2021 that evaluate the impact of patient positioning on endotracheal intubation in the context of RSI. We will inclu...
This systematic review does not require ethics approval, as all patient-centred data will be reported from published studies....

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is one of the main approaches for the treatment of large and complex stones in pediatric patients. The patient position for PCNL has been classically divided into p...
A retrosepctive review was performed of all abdominal CT scans performed in one center, in patients under 18 years since 2017 to 2019. The ideal path for percutaneous puncture was traced in the upper,...
50 CT-scans were performed on 44 children. Patients had a mean age of 12.6 years and 71.4% were male. Twenty-five scans were performed in the prone and 25 in the supine position. The incidence of RRC ...
Colon injury is one of the most morbid complication in PCNL and one of the reasons to perform a CT scan before surgery, on which its incidence appears to be <1% in adults. The present study revealed R...
The incidence of RRC for an ideal puncture was significantly higher in the lower calyx of the left kidney in the prone position than in the supine position, and in the right kidney, the RRC only occur...
Although it is fundamental for optimal scanner operation, it is generally accepted that accurate patient centring cannot always be achieved. This review aimed to examine the reported knowledge of the ...
A comprehensive search through the databases PubMed, Ovid, and Google Scholar was performed. Keywords included patient off-centring, patient positioning, localiser radiograph orientation, radiation do...
Vertical off-centring was reported in up to 95% of patients undergoing chest and abdominal CT examinations, showing a significant influence on radiation dose. Depending on the scanner model and vendor...
Patient positioning has shown significant effects on radiation dose and image quality in CT. Developing a good understanding of the key factors influencing patient dose (off-centring direction, locali...
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether a 3-dimensional (3D) camera can outperform highly trained technicians in precision of patient positioning and whether this transforms into a reduction in ...
In a single-center study, 3118 patients underwent computer tomography (CT) scans of the chest and/or abdomen on a latest generation single-source CT scanner supported with an automated patient positio...
Isocenter positioning was significantly improved with the 3D camera ( P < 0.001) as compared with visual laser-guided positioning. Absolute table height differed significantly ( P < 0.001), being high...
The introduction of a 3D camera improves patient positioning in the isocenter of the scanner, which results in a lower and also better balanced dose reduction for the patients....
Focused cardiac ultrasound (FoCUS) is a limited, clinician-performed application of echocardiography to add real-time information to patient care. These bedside exams are problem oriented, rapidly and...
To study the respiratory patterns and the hemodynamic variations related to postural changes in inpatients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19)....
This report is a prospective study in a cohort of inpatients admitted with COVID-19. We recruited 10 patients admitted to the hospital with moderate or severe COVID-19 who showed improvement in oxygen...
We observed a median minimum oxygen saturation of 85.00% (IQR: 7.00) in the supine position versus 91.00% (IQR: 8.00) (...
This brief report describes the effects of prone positioning on respiratory and hemodynamic variables in 10 patients with moderate or severe COVID-19....
A key best practice to prevent and treat pressure injuries (PIs) is to ensure at-risk individuals are repositioned regularly. Our team designed a non-contact position detection system that predicts an...
Fiberoptic-guided intubation is considered as "gold standard" of difficult airway management. Management of the airway in prone position in patients with severe trauma presenting with penetrating wais...
A man presented with severe multiple trauma and hemorrhagic shock as a result of an industrial accident with several deformed steel bars penetrating the left lower waist and hip. It was decided to sch...
Awake fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation, along with airway blocks and appropriate sedation, can be a viable option in patients with severe multiple trauma in the prone position....
To evaluate the impact of two different parameters (body position and distension medium) on the rectal sensory test in patients with functional constipation and provide data support for the developmen...
Based on a single-center process of the rectal sensory test, 39 patients with functional constipation were recruited for rectal sensory test under different body positions and distension mediums....
Among the items of the Constipation Scoring System, the score of frequency of bowel movements showed a negative correlation with the first constant sensation volume (r = -0.323, P = 0.045). Conversely...
For patients with functional constipation, there are differences in the results of rectal sensory tests between body positions and distension mediums. When conducting multicenter studies, it is necess...
Effective patient positioning is a critical factor influencing surgical outcomes, mainly in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) where precise positioning facilitates optimal access to the su...
