NCT05689216

Brief Summary

Awake prone positioning has been reported to improve oxygenation for patients with COVID-19. Awake timed and repositioning is a novel method to improve patients' compliance and prolong the prone time. This study aims to explore the impact of timed prone and repositioning on the intubation rate and prognosis of COVID-19 patients with hypoxic respiratory failure.

Study Arms (2)

Awake timed prone and repositioning group

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients' cumulative prone and repositioning time is encouraged to reach 8-10 hours per day for 4 days following a timed prone and repositioning strategy.

Behavioral: Awake timed prone and repositioning

Standard care group

NO INTERVENTION

Patients can change their positions freely according to their own needs. Health providers do not take the initiative to give guidance on prone and repositioning.

Interventions

Patients were instructed to adopt a timed prone and repositioning strategy with 4 sessions for four consecutive days. Session 1, lying on the belly; Session 2, lying on the right side; Session 3, sitting up; Session 4, lying on the left side; then back to session 1 (30 minutes to two hours for each session). The daily duration of timed prone and repositioning is strongly recommended for 8-10 hours.
