Physiological Response to Prone Position in COVID-19 Associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

Physiological Response to Prone Position in Intubated Adults With COVID-19 Associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS): a Retrospective Study

Retrospective study in COVID-19 ARDS patients hospitalised in the ICU. Investigators aim to explore the effects of prone positioning on oxygenation, dead space ventilation and mortality.

Inclusion Criteria:

• COVID-19 associated moderate to severe ARDS
• Invasive mechanical ventilation
• Prone positioning
• admitted to ICU

Exclusion Criteria:

• already sustained prone positioning in referring hospital
• pronation during ECMO only
• denied consent for data analysis
