Research summary
The recent COVID-19 pandemic has seen the critical care community treating increasing numbers of patients over recent weeks, with one Chinese study reporting the prevalence of respiratory failure in these patients at around 19%. Approximately 5% of all COVID-19 patients will require mechanical ventilation on an intensive care unit, with a further 14% requiring oxygen therapy\nProne positioning is a simple intervention that can be done in most circumstances, is compatible with all forms of basic respiratory support and requires little or no equipment in the conscious patient.Prone ventilation has been recommended in international guidelines for the management of COVID-19.Despite the clear potential benefits of proning, there are no clear guidelines to which patients would benefit from the manoeuvre \n
