Abstract:Background
The effects of awake prone positioning (APP) on respiratory mechanics in patients with COVID-19 are not well characterized. The aim of this study was to investigate changes of global and regional lung volumes during APP compared with the supine position using electrical lung impedance tomography (EIT) in patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure due to COVID-19.
Materials and methods
This exploratory non-randomized cross-over study was conducted at two university hospitals in Sweden between Janu… Show more
