    Objective: To systematically analyze the available evidence from studies on the effectiveness of the prone position to improve oxygenation and reduce mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Materials and methods: The systematic review of the 10 scientific articles found on the effectiveness of the prone position to improve oxygenation and reduce mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome was conducted in the following databases: Epistemonikos, Cochrane, Lilacs, Scielo, Medline, Pubmed. All were analyzed according to the GRADE scale to determine their strength and quality of evidence. Results: Of the 10 articles reviewed, 100% (10) correspond to the methodological design of systematic reviews and meta-analyses. All 10 systematically reviewed articles provide evidence of the effectiveness of the prone position to improve oxygenation and reduce mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Conclusions: Of the 10 articles reviewed, 100% (10) provide evidence of the effectiveness of the prone position to improve oxygenation and reduce mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. This is because it improves oxygenation in patients with respiratory distress syndrome in adults, and in patients with more severe disease, it also showed a significant trend toward reducing mortality.
