Case Report on Ultra-Prolonged Prone Ventilation and Mechanical Power in Refractory ARDS

A 2026 case report from figshare details a novel clinical intervention for a patient with severe influenza A-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The report describes a 55-year-old female patient who underwent continuous prone positioning for 5 days, with longitudinal monitoring of mechanical power (MP) from 18.14 to 12.33 J/min. Authored by Ting-Li Zhuang, the document is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the physiological impact of ultra-prolonged prone positioning based on oxygenation and mechanical power trends described in the case.
• Studying the relationship between mechanical power monitoring and lung-protective ventilation strategies during prone ventilation.
• Reviewing a clinical protocol for managing patients intolerant to standard intermittent prone positioning cycles.
• Examining a detailed clinical timeline for a case of influenza A-associated severe ARDS.

Strengths

• Provides specific numerical data on mechanical power (MP) values, showing a decline from 18.14 to 12.33 J/min.
• Includes a detailed clinical timeline, specifying a 5-day continuous prone positioning intervention.
• Document is openly licensed (CC-BY-4.0) for reuse and sharing.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is a single case report (195.0 KB), representing a very limited scope and sample size.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and structure require manual inspection after download.
