Prone position in non-intubated patient has shown some respiratory physiological benefits. Prone positioning in patient intubated with ARDS has shown hemodynamic benefits. We aim to compare hemodynamic assessment before and after prone positioning in non-intubated patient with COVID 19 pneumonia. The study hypothesis is that prone positioning in non-intubated patient improve right ventricular preload, reduce afterload and increase Cardiac index compared to supine position.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
30
Choice of prone positioning a patient is at the discretion of the anesthesia physician.
Service d'Anesthésie-Réanimation, Hôpital Louis Pradel,
Bron, France
Hemodynamic effect
Cardiac index
Time frame: Cardiac index will be recorded before, just after prone position and after return to supine position.
