Prone Position and Renal Resistive Index

Patients suffering from Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) with a prone position (PP) indication will benefit from measurements of renal resistive index, intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), urinary oxygen tension (uPO2) and ventilatory mechanics in supine position (baseline IAP), after 2 hours in PP at the current IAP value, thirty minutes after patients' abdomen suspension in order to resume baseline IAP and after patients' are turned back to supine position.

Treatment and study plan

Prone position

Other

Abdomen suspension in prone position

Primary outcomes

  1. change in renal resistive index (RRI)

    Time frame: At inclusion (in supine position), two hours after prone positioning, 30-minutes after the abdomen suspension maneuver

    RRI measurement will be performed on a right kidney arcuate/interlobar artery, with a high frequency Doppler probe. Three to five consecutive measures will be obtained then RRI computed according to the formula: (peak systolic velocity - end diastolic velocity)/peak systolic velocity).

Secondary outcomes

  1. change in renal medullary oxygen tension

    Time frame: At inclusion (in supine position), two hours after prone positioning, 30-minutes after the abdomen suspension maneuver

    urinary oxygen tension (uPO₂) will be measured via a fiber-optic luminescence optode inserted through the bladder catheter lumen

  2. ventilatory mechanics: transpulmonary pressure

    Time frame: At inclusion (in supine position), two hours after prone positioning, 30-minutes after the abdomen suspension maneuver

    transpulmonary pressure will be measured at the end of inspiration and expiration and continuously recorded on a datalogger

  3. ventilatory mechanics: driving pressure

    Time frame: At inclusion (in supine position), two hours after prone positioning, 30-minutes after the abdomen suspension maneuver

    driving pressure will be measured at the end of inspiration and expiration and continuously recorded on a datalogger

  4. ventilatory mechanics: elastance

    Time frame: At inclusion (in supine position), two hours after prone positioning, 30-minutes after the abdomen suspension maneuver

    elastance will be measured at the end of inspiration and expiration and continuously recorded on a datalogger

  5. haematosis

    Time frame: At inclusion (in supine position), two hours after prone positioning, 30-minutes after the abdomen suspension maneuver

    arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) and arterial dioxide carbon tension (PaC02)

  6. Intra abdominal pressure

    Time frame: At inclusion (in supine position), two hours after prone positioning, 30-minutes after the abdomen suspension maneuver and two hours after patients are back in supine position

    Intra abdominal pressure will be measured thanks to a dedicated nasogastric tube with two balloons (gastric pressure)

  7. Persisting effect of IAP increase in prone position when patients are back in supine position on renal resistive index

    Time frame: Two hours after patients are back in supine position

    RRI measurement will be performed on a right kidney arcuate/interlobar artery, with a high frequency Doppler probe. Three to five consecutive measures will be obtained then RRI computed according to the formula: (peak systolic velocity - end diastolic velocity)/peak systolic velocity).

  8. Persisting effect of IAP increase in prone position when patients are back in supine position on urinary PO2

    Time frame: Two hours after patients are back in supine position

    urinary oxygen tension (uPO₂) will be measured via a fiber-optic luminescence optode inserted through the bladder catheter lumen

  9. Persisting effect of IAP increase in prone position when patients are back in supine position on ventilatory mechanics: transpulmonary pressure

    Time frame: Two hours after patients are back in supine position

    transpulmonary pressure will be measured at the end of inspiration and expiration and continuously recorded on a datalogger

  10. Persisting effect of IAP increase in prone position when patients are back in supine position on ventilatory mechanics: driving pressure

    Time frame: Two hours after patients are back in supine position

    driving pressure will be measured at the end of inspiration and expiration and continuously recorded on a datalogger

  11. Persisting effect of IAP increase in prone position when patients are back in supine position on ventilatory mechanics: elastance

    Time frame: Two hours after patients are back in supine position

    elastance will be measured at the end of inspiration and expiration and continuously recorded on a datalogger

  12. Persisting effect of IAP increase in prone position when patients are back in supine position on haematosis

    Time frame: Two hours after patients are back in supine position

    arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) and arterial dioxide carbon tension (PaC02)

  13. Acute kidney injury

    Time frame: within 48 hours following prone position

    According to creatinine or diuresis criteria of Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (K-DIGO) classification
