Summary

The purpose of this study is to retrospectively review clinical data to determine whether awake proning improves oxygenation in spontaneously breathing patients with COVID-19 severe hypoxemic respiratory failure.

Detailed description

Critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severely strained intensive care resources in New York in April 2020. The prone position improves oxygenation in intubated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. The investigators wanted to study whether the prone position is associated with improved oxygenation and decreased risk for intubation in spontaneously breathing patients with severe COVID-19 hypoxemic respiratory failure. Awake prone positioning was implemented based on the health care provider decision.

Conditions

• Oxygen Deficiency
• Coronavirus Infection

Interventions
