  Background: Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, knowledge of the different stages of the disease has increased. In the most severe cases, alveolar collapse, pulmonary consolidation and imbalance in the relationship between ventilation and perfusion are observed, perpetuating hypoxemia. We have controversial evidence of the use of the prone position, with improved oxygenation and decreased mortality. Objective: To present our experience on the effectiveness of the prone position in the management of patients with ARDS due to COVID-19 under mechanical ventilation. Material and Methods: Retrospective cohort study in patients with severe COVID-19 under mechanical ventilation with pO2/FiO2�?150mmHg, who were managed in a prone position. Results: Sixty-two mostly male individuals were analyzed. Only 4.8% were nor.. Read More»
