of the 126 (23%) were placed on Low-Volume or Bivent protocol. 22 of the 29 (76%) were screened while 7 (24%) were excluded because their condition improved within 24 hr. Of those screened, 6 (27 %) had absolute contraindications, 6 (27%) had relative contraindications, 5 (23%) had both, and 4 (18%) were physician discretion. 1 (5%) patient underwent prone ventilation. RT screened 22 (100%) patients that qualified. Conclusions: In conjunction with a STICU ventilator protocol, we implemented an RT-initiated screening process for prone ventilation to assist in managing refractory hypoxemia. Data demonstrates that the RT's can successfully screen patients who may benefit from prone ventilation therapy without disruption in their daily routine.
