Early Prone Position on Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pneumonia

Overview

the purpose of this study to evaluate the effect of early awake PP (prone position)application on oxygenation and intubation requirement in patients with acute respiratory failure due to coronavirus disease 2019 pneumonia.

The first group (early prone position-EPP) created for our study was composed of patients who received PP at least 12 hours early (with the first 48 hours) with the oxygen support of the reservoir mask, and the second group (non-EPP ) patients who received oxygen with the reservoir mask but could not be applied early PP due to the patient's incompatibility or rejection. Conventional oxygen therapy applied to all patients was given with a reservoir mask, aiming at oxygen saturation 93% and above, at a flow rate of 6-15 L / min. Despite all the treatments, the patients who have a follow-up with a respiratory acidosis , oxygen saturation value below 93%, applied non invasive mechanical ventilation, in case of insufficient patient intubated and have invasive mechanical ventilation. In patients who had regression of glasgow coma scale during follow-up, orotracheal intubation was performed and invasive mechanical ventilation was performed.
