Abstract：The clinical benefits of prone position ventilation to respirtayory system include improving oxygenation and reducing ventilator-associated lung injury.However,its use in different disease populations remains controversial,with variations in implementation details.In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS),prone position ventilation can improve oxygenation and reduce mortality,though the application duration is debated,as prolonged use may lead to complications.While prone position ventilation is effective in patients with thoracoic and abdominal trauma,it carries significant challenges and risks,and there is a lack of prospective studies.In neurocritical patients,intracranial pressure should be closely monitored during its application.For lung transplant patients,prone position ventilation may improve donor lung function,but its postoperativel use is debated.Obese patients tend to derive more significant benefits from prone position ventilation.In a word,the strategy of prone position ventilation is influenced by various factors,and further research is needed to identify the ideal disease populations and develop evidence-based guidelines.
