Efficacy and safety of early prone positioning combined with HFNC or NIV in moderate to severe ARDS: a multi-center prospective cohort study

Abstract: Background: Previous studies suggest that prone positioning (PP) can increase PaO 2 /FiO 2 and reduce mortality in moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The aim of our study was to determine whether the early use of PP combined with non-invasive ventilation (NIV) or high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) can avoid the need for intubation in moderate to severe ARDS patients. Methods: This prospective observational cohort study was performed in two teaching hospitals. Non-intubated moderate to s… Show more

“…Awake proning has been demonstrated to decrease intubation and improve outcomes in ARDS patients. 3 In New York City, during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, patients presented en masse with moderate to severe hypoxia. Some of these patients were distressed, quickly deteriorated and required endotracheal intubation.…”

“…We recommend favouring an extended semisitting or sitting position avoiding a slumped position. When possible and in close collaboration with the team, favour alternations of the lateral decubitus, consider whether the semi-prone or prone position might be indicated [6]. It is necessary to minimize the patient effort even in maintaining postures.…”
