Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Each awake prone position session had a minimum duration of one hour and a maximum duration of 12 hours for a minimum of 3 hours per day. Epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical, therapeutic and evolutionary data were collected using a data processing form including the different variables collected in the patients' medical records. These data were then computerized and analyzed using IBM SPSS version 21 software. Qualitative variables were described as numbers and/or percentages, and quantitative variables as mean ± standard deviation, or as median with interquartile range for variables not having a normal distribution.

Who may be able to join

  • all patients (1069 patients) with ARDS due to SARS-cov2, confirmed by nasopharyngeal swab, who were hospitalized in the COVID-19 ICU from March 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021

Who cannot join

  • Patients with negative CRP
  • Younger than 18 years of age
  • Patients who died or intubated on the day of admission
  • Patients presented a contraindication

About this study

Official title: Awake Prone Positioning for COVID-19 Acute Hypoxaemic Respiratory Failure: Retrospective Cohort Study

The objective of our study is to evaluate the effectiveness of prone position in preventing intubation or death in spontaneously ventilated patients with COVID-19 with acute respiratory failure.

Read the detailed description

The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the management of hypoxemic respiratory failure as limited ICU capacity is strained by a new high-mortality disease and large numbers of patients requiring prolonged periods of hospitalization, as well as respiratory support equipment such as ventilators and intensive care unit (ICU) beds.

If early and prolonged prone positioning (DV) reduces mortality in invasively ventilated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), its role in conscious patients (DV vigil) remains a subject of debate and research.

This is a retrospective, monocentric, descriptive and analytical cohort conducted over a period of 22 months from March 2020 to December 2021 and involving 1069 patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the CHU Mohammed VI of Oujda for the management of acute respiratory failure caused by COVID-19.
