Prolonged Prone Positioning for COVID-19-induced Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS): A Pilot Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Prolonged Proned Positioning and Traditional Proning Arm for ARDS and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 52 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Prone positioning is one of the few therapies known to improve mortality in ARDS. Traditionally, patients are proned for 16 hours per 24 hour period. Some retrospective data suggests improvement may persist beyond 16 hours. We aim to perform a pilot study comparing traditional prone positioning to prolonged prone positioning in patients with COVID-induced ARDS.
