    Background Adjusting trunk inclination from a semirecumbent position to a supinefat position or vice versa in patients with respiratory failure signifcantly afects numerous aspects of respiratory physiology including respiratory mechanics, oxygenation, endexpiratory lung volume, and ventilatory efciency. Despite these observed efects, the current clinical evidence regarding this positioning manoeuvre is limited. This study undertakes a scoping review of patients with respiratory failure undergoing mechanical ventilation to assess the efect of trunk inclination on physiological lung parameters. Methods The PubMed, Cochrane, and Scopus databases were systematically searched from 2003 to 2023. Interventions: Changes in trunk inclination. Measurements: Four domains were evaluated in this study: 1) respiratory mechanics, 2) ventilation distribution, 3) oxygenation, and 4) ventilatory efciency. Results After searching the three databases and removing duplicates, 220 studies were screened. Of these, 37 were assessed in detail, and 13 were included in the fnal analysis, comprising 274 patients. All selected studies were experimental, and assessed respiratory mechanics, ventilation distribution, oxygenation, and ventilatory efciency, primarily within 60 min post postural change. Conclusion In patients with acute respiratory failure, transitioning from a supine to a semirecumbent position leads to decreased respiratory system compliance and increased airway driving pressure. Additionally, CARDS patients experienced an improvement in ventilatory efciency, which resulted in lower PaCO2 levels. Improvements in oxygenation were observed in a few patients and only in those who exhibited an increase in EELV upon moving to a semi recumbent position. Therefore, the trunk inclination angle must be accurately reported in patients with respiratory failure under mechanical ventilation

    Respiratory effects of trunk inclination in obese and non-obese patients mechanically ventilated for ARDS
    (BMC, 2025) Benites, Martín Hernán; Bihari, Shailesh; Battiato, Romina; Bruhn, Alejandro; Bugedo, Guillermo; Costa, Eduardo L. V.; Dellamonica, Jean; Guérin, Claude; Langer, Thomas; Marini, John J.; Marrazo, Francesco; Mezidi, Mehdi; Selickman, John; Wiersema, Ubbo F.; Retamal, Jaime
    Background Adjusting trunk inclination in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome directly affects physiological variables such as respiratory mechanics and PaCO2 levels. These effects may vary according to the body mass index (BMI) due to differences in lung and chest wall mechanics, highlighting the need for further investigation to clarify the clinical relevance of body position across patient subgroups. Methods A secondary analysis compared the physiological effects of increasing trunk inclination angles between mechanically ventilated patients with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) and those without obesity (BMI < 30 kg/m2). Results Data from 159 patients collected across seven individual studies were analyzed. The following physiological changes were observed in response to increased trunk inclination: Sixty-five patients with obesity presented a greater decrease in respiratory system compliance (-7.5 [-10; -5] mL/cmH2O; p < 0.001) compared to ninety-four patients without obesity (-3.5 [-7; -0.08] mL/cmH2O; p = 0.045). Lung compliance decreased in obese patients (-7.8 [-12.4; -3.3] mL/cmH2O; p < 0.001), whereas no significant changes were observed in patients without obesity (-5.9 [-14.2; 2.3] mL/cmH2O; p = 0.160). Chest wall compliance decreased by -42.9 [-63.2; -22.6] mL/cmH2O (p < 0.001) in obese patients and by -47.7 [-95.3; -0.15] mL/cmH2O in non-obese patients (p = 0.049). PaCO2 increased in obese patients by 4.6 [1.4; 7.8] mmHg (p = 0.004) but not in patients without obesity (2.5 [-0.6; 5.6] (p = 0.113). No significant differences were observed in PaO2/FIO2 between phases.
