Brief Summary  

This is a prospective, observational, single-centre study conducted to evaluate the utility of extended prone ventilation sessions among patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). The study will include 45 adult ICU patients receiving prone ventilation as part of routine clinical management. The primary outcome is the reduction in pulmonary and renal inflammatory biomarker levels. Patients receiving standard care with prone ventilation will be observed at three time points: prior to initiation of prone positioning, after 16 hours of prone ventilation, and after 24 hours of prone ventilation. Biomarker levels will be compared across these intervals to assess the effect of extended prone positioning. The secondary outcome is all-cause in-hospital mortality, which will be analyzed to determine any association with duration of prone ventilation.
