AbstractContinuous lateral rotational therapy can be a significant adjunct in the care of the critically ill patient. CLRT has a great impact on both patient outcomes as well as cost containment in the care of the critically ill. These systems should be used with clear guidelines to determine when CLRT is indicated, its therapeutic benefit, and when to discontinue the therapy. Much research is needed to validate efficacy of particular systems, cost-effectiveness, and necessary frequency and degree of rotation to attain optimal clinical benefits.
