Background The COVID-19 pandemic is challenging advanced health systems, which are
dealing with an overwhelming number of patients in need of intensive care for respiratory …

Introduction Prone position is known to improve mortality in patients with acute respiratory
distress syndrome (ARDS). The impact of prone position in critically ill patients with …

Prone positioning reduces mortality in the management of intubated patients with moderate-
to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. It allows improvement in oxygenation by …

Oxygenation failure recalcitrant to increasing positive end-expiratory pressure is a feature of
severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia [1]. A Chinese group used prone …

Rationale: The feasibility and safety of awake prone positioning and its impact on outcomes
in non-intubated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome secondary to COVID-19 is …

Background Prone positioning (PP) has been used to improve oxygenation in patients
affected by the SARS-CoV-2 disease (COVID-19). Several mechanisms, including lung …

• Prone positioning in patients with hypoxic respiratory failure who are awake,
spontaneously breathing and not intubated is possible in noncritical care settings; evidence …

Background The awake prone positioning strategy for patients with acute respiratory distress
syndrome is a safe, simple and cost-effective technique used to improve hypoxaemia. We …

Background Awake prone positioning has been widely used in patients with COVID‐19
respiratory failure to avoid intubation despite limited evidence. Our objective was to evaluate …

Purpose Prone positioning of non-intubated patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
and hypoxemic respiratory failure may prevent intubation and improve outcomes …
