Abstract:
Continuous lateral rotation therapy (CLRT) has been proposed as a replacement for standard manual turning to decrease pulmonary complications in critically ill patients. Findings on the effectiveness of CLRT in decreasing pulmonary complications are promising, but some serious gaps exist, such as when to start and end therapy. This article reviews and analyzes the research on CLRT and proposes directions for future research.
