Patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) often require prolonged sessions of prone position (PP) because of refractory hypoxemia. Because of frequent hemodynamic impairment, use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is also advocated during ARDS, but its implementation during PP has not been described yet. Our objective is to report the feasibility, tolerance, and therapeutic implications of TEE during PP for severe ARDS, and to compare it with TEE performed supine.
