Prone positioning in mechanically ventilated patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome and coronavirus disease 2019

Abstract

Proning increased PaO₂ :FiO₂ , primarily in patients with PaO₂ :FiO₂ approximately < 120 mm Hg, with a consistency over three sessions. No characteristic was associated with non-responding, why proning may be considered in most patients. Further study is required to evaluate mortality.
