Abstract:Introduction: prone positioning with continous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is widely used for respiratory support in awake patients with COVID-19 associated acute respiratory failure. We aimed to assess the respiratory mechanics and distribution of ventilation in COVID-19 associated ARDS treated by CPAP in awake prone position. Methods: we studied sixteen awake COVID-19 patients with moderate to severe ARDS. The study protocol consisted of a randomized sequence of supine and prone position with imposed PE… Show more
