Authors' Reply – Comments: Influence of the prone position on a stretcher for pregnant women on maternal and fetal hemodynamic parameters and comfort in pregnancy
“…The latest gestation at which proning was described in a critically ill patient is 34 weeks in singleton (14). However, studies in healthy individuals that evaluated maternal-fetal hemodynamic parameters are described as far as 37 weeks (15). None of our patients that were proned suffered any complications during proning.…”

“…Contrary to the common concern of aortocaval compression during the prone position in pregnancy, the prone position provides optimal venous return (19). No clinically significant hemodynamic changes occurred during proning in healthy subjects (15) or those with hypertensive disorders (20).…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
