A review of the literature was carried out regarding the safety and efficacy of the prone position maneuver in patients after recent cardiac surgery with median sternotomy who develop ARDS under invasive mechanical ventilation. It is concluded that, in an appropriate setting, with experienced personnel and necessary care, the prone position could be safe in this type of patients.
