Abstract
In the last few years prone positioning has been used increasingly in the treatment of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and this maneuver is now considered a simple and safe method to improve oxygenation. Hemodynamic monitoring by echocardiography may be required but prone positioning imposes certain challenges limiting standard examination. The article describes the application of the "trans-splenic retrocardiac view," a little-known echographic window for obtaining Doppler parameters from the back in prone-positioned patients.
