Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Twenty consecutive patients with ARDS were included and turned prone in the medical intensive care unit of Sainte Marguerite University Hospital in Marseille, France. Patients were prospectively included in this study after obtaining written informed consent from the next of kin. The study design was approved by the Comité Consultatif de Protection des Personnes dans la Recherche Biomédicale of Marseille. ARDS was defined in accordance with the recommendations of the American/European Consensus Conference.
Exclusion criteria: Patients with unstable cardiovascular function, cerebral injury or unstable spinal fractures, patients subjected to major abdominal surgery and patients with a history of neuromuscular disease were excluded.

Respiratory disorders
Intervention(s)
Baseline measurements were performed in the supine position after one hour of steady-state conventional mechanical ventilation. Then the following two periods of PP were randomised:
1. 6 hours of PP on the moulded foam mattress
2. 6 hours of PP on the air-cushioned mattress

A period of 18 hours in the supine position separated the two periods in the prone position. Each patient was his or her own control. Measurements were achieved in the supine position, after 1 and 6 hours of PP.
Primary Outcome(s)
1. Intra-Abdominal Pressure (IAP)
2. Plasma Disappearance Rate of Indocyanine Green (PDRICG)
3. Extravascular Lung Water (EVLW)
4. Partial Pressure of Oxygen in Arterial Blood (PaO2)/Fraction of Inspired Oxygen (FiO2) ratio
5. Central Venous Pressure (CVP)
6. Mean pulmonary arterial pressure
7. Pulmonary artery occlusion pressure
