A) Survival of ECMO patients with vs. without prone positioning while ECMO. Initial survival differences equalized in Kaplan-Meier survival curve after 30 days (Log rank=0.109). B) Survival depending on early prone positioning after initiation of ECMO support. Patients treated with early PP while ECMO showed a superior survival to patients treated with late PP or without PP while ECMO. Optimal cut off value for duration of ECMO initiation to first PP was calculated using ROC-analysis (AUC = 0.789) and the Youden-Index. Highest sensitivity and specificity for beneficial survival were achieved for a beginning of PP in <0.71 days. (Log rank=0.018). PP: Prone positioning
