Early in ARDS, postural changes including CLR and prone positioning can be effective in altering the distribution of ventilation and blood flow [ 13, 14, 15].
It is well known that this postural change induces some haemodynamic modifications represented by the shift of blood from the legs into the central circulation, by the increase in the venous return and by the improvement in systemic haemodynamics [ 1, 2, 3, 4].
These regimens included (1) routine turning by the ICU staff every 2 h from the left lateral to the right lateral position; (2) routine turning by the ICU staff every 2 h from the left lateral to the right lateral position including a 15-min period of manual percussion and postural drainage (P&PD) by the respiratory therapists; (3) continuous lateral rotation (CLR) with a specialized bed (Effica; Hill-Rom, Batesville, Indiana, USA) that turned patients from left to right lateral position, pausing at each position for 2 min; and 4) CLR with a specialized bed (Effica) that turned patients from left to right lateral position, pausing at each position for 2 min, and a 15-min period of percussion provided by the pneumatic cushions of the bed every 2 h.
Interestingly, the addition of percussion to the postural drainage occurring during CLR failed to increase secretion clearance in our patient population.
The Chiropractic Mercy Center Consensus Conference held in January 1993 identified and rated the value of various measurement instruments related to spinal joint functional assessment that could be used as reference standards [ 43 ] . Based on their critical review of the literature, Troyanovich and Harrison [ 44 ] suggested postural assessment instruments and radiographic measurement as valid, reliable and clinically useful objective measurement tools to help identify dysfunctional spinal vertebral joints.
