NCT04853979

Brief Summary

The investigator hypothesis is that early implementation of early, awake prone position for patients with COVID-19 pneumonia requiring oxygen therapy will reduce the need for escalation of respiratory support. Escalation of respiratory support is defined as the need for respiratory support with HFNO, NIV or IV.
