Why would a patient need to be in prone position?

1 answer:

5 0

Reduced stroke volume and cardiac index results in a drop in blood pressure often seen when a patient is turned from supine to prone. Respiratory changes include a 30% to 35% decrease in respiratory compliance and increase in peak airway pressure. This in turn decreases venous return and cardiac output.

What causes pressure inside an inflated soccer ball?
