Nursing care for the person in a critical situation and their family is the central focus of this course of competence development. In this sense, two stages were carried out, with the purpose of developing and consolidating specialist nurse skills in the area of the person in critical situation, in extra-hospital emergency and in intensive care, carrying out the exposure and critical analysis of the activities developed during the course of the study. of this route. One of the main objectives of the intensive care internship was the care of a critically ill person with acute respiratory distress syndrome under invasive mechanical ventilation in a prone position. In order to map the extent and type of existing scientific evidence in relation to this topic, a scoping review was carried out in order to identify the nursing care inherent to this differentiated position. Given the results obtained, it can be noted that the positioning of the person in a critical situation in prone, also called prone, has a direct impact on the outcome of the person in the critical situation. Therefore, it is essential that nurses have knowledge and skills to anticipate possible complications and their resolution. This review reveals the most sensitive nursing care to this extremely complex positioning technique.
