  • Title: Prone ventilation in a patient with severe ARDS having a floating sternum.
    Author: Sahoo AK, Tripathy S, Singh SK.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2019 Mar 12; 12(3):. PubMed ID: 30862672.
    Abstract:
    Prone ventilation is used to manage patients with refractory hypoxia in the critical care unit. Complex chest trauma and chest drains have been a considered relative contraindication to prone ventilation. To the best of our knowledge, it is hitherto unreported in patients having traumatic floating sternum and acute respiratory distress. We present a brief case report of a patient with floating sternum (complete disruption of sternum) managed successfully by prone position ventilation.
