这种简单的技术可以帮助病人通过改变他们的身体姿势来呼吸。

一些在冠状病毒大流行前线的医生成功地用一种被称为“proning”的简单技术治疗了COVID-19患者。加州奥兰治县圣约瑟夫医院的肺科医生杰克·斯图尔特医学博士说,这个术语基本上是指让患者处于俯卧位,或“胸部脸朝下平躺在腹部,而不是仰卧着。健康。

卧倒需要很少或不需要设备,这项技术可能被证明可以帮助危重病人避免使用呼吸机来辅助呼吸。

为什么卧倒有用?斯图尔特医生说,让病人俯卧有助于呼吸,因为“俯卧时更容易进行氧合(让更多氧气进入血液)”。这是解剖学的功能,因为人体后部的肺组织比前部多。冠状病毒会导致异常液体和分泌物向背部聚集,那里有更多的肺组织,并导致对肺功能的更大干扰。

“当病人处于俯卧位时,重力会帮助分泌物向下移动,所以更多的‘好’肺在上面,因此受到的影响较小,”加利福尼亚州富勒顿圣裘德医疗中心重症监护医学主任哈里·佩莱德医学博士说健康。

俯卧也是一种治疗急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)的有效方法,这是冠状病毒感染的一种危及生命的并发症,表现为呼吸急促(气促)而且进步很快。一项研究上个月发表在美国医学会内科杂志研究表明,在因重症和危重型COVID-19住院的患者中,超过40%的人患上了急性呼吸窘迫综合征,超过50%的患者死于这种疾病。

急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)对患有流感、肺炎和肺水肿(肺部积液)的患者构成危险心脏病)。Stewart医生说:“Proning已经被用于治疗ARDS很多年了2013年法国医生发表在《柳叶刀》杂志上的一项研究新英格兰医学杂志发现如果在医院早期使用俯卧位,患有ARDS的患者死亡风险较低。

还需要进一步研究俯卧对冠状病毒患者的影响,但坊间证据表明,自全球大流行开始以来,这种治疗方法是有效的。

在美国长岛犹太医院,一名冠状病毒患者被置于俯卧位后,成功避免了生命维持,美国有线电视新闻网报道。在英国,一名患有COVID-19肺炎的50岁妇女,医生认为她只有“几个小时”的生命了,在医生将她俯卧后,她康复得非常好,据该患者丈夫为《每日邮报》撰写的一篇文章称《纽约时报》

俯卧疗法不仅仅用于危重病人。事实上,英国的新指导方针重症监护协会该报告由专门从事重症监护和呼吸医学的医生和护士撰写,他说,这项技术可以减少对有创通气的需求,以及意识清醒的COVID-19患者在进入重症监护之前死亡的几率。

新指南指出:“俯卧位是一种简单的干预措施,在大多数情况下都可以进行,与所有形式的基本呼吸支持兼容,并且在有意识的患者中几乎不需要或不需要设备。”然而,这项技术并不适用于所有的患者,比如病态肥胖者、孕妇或面部受伤的人。

芝加哥拉什大学医学中心的一个小组目前正在进行一项研究临床试验以确定俯卧姿势是否对COVID-19患者有帮助,这些患者病情不严重,不需要呼吸机为他们呼吸,但病情严重到需要通过鼻子里的管子输送补充氧气。

佩莱德博士说,俯身确实存在一些风险,比如压疮和气管内导管(一种通过口腔放置并插入气管以帮助患者呼吸的柔性塑料管)脱出。最大的风险是,如果病人心脏骤停,就很难实施CPR。他补充说:“拥有一支训练有素的团队和有组织的方法来确保手术安全有效地进行是至关重要的。”
