Abstract Introduction This study sought to assess whether the use of thoraco-pelvic supports during prone positioning in patients with acute lung injury acute respiratory distress syndrome ALI ARDS improves deteriorates or leaves unmodified gas exchange hemodynamics and respiratory mechanics. Methods We studied 11 patients with ALI ARDS sedated and paralyzed mechanically ventilated in volume control ventilation. Prone positioning with or without thoraco-pelvic supports was applied in a random sequence and maintained for a 1-hour period without changing the ventilation setting. In four healthy subjects the pressures between the body and the contact surface were measured with and without thoraco-pelvic supports. Oxygenation variables arterial and central
