Abstract: As an important means of lung protective strategy, prone position ventilation (PPV) which can effectively shorten the time of mechanical ventilation, significantly reduce the mortality of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and is suitable for popularization and application in the ICU. However, some studies show that prolonged prone position can significantly increase the incidence of Stress injury, making it difficult to implement PPV in the practical level. In order to achieve the goal of safe and effective prevention of skin Stress injury, and to promote the correct implementation of PPV, this paper review the methods of preventing Stress injury in patients with PPV.
