Hemodynamic Effect of Prone Position in Non-intubated Patient With COVID 19

Hemodynamic Effect of Prone Positioning in Non-intubated Patient With COVID 19 Pneumonia: a Monocentric Prospective Cohort Study

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adult patient
• COVID 19 pneumonias with Hypoxemia
• for whom prone positioning has been decided by the attending physician.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Mechanical ventilation
• ECLS
