Adoption of Prone Ventilation in COVID-19: Will De-adoption Occur After the Pandemic?

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Javier Amador-Castaneda discusses the adoption of prone ventilation in COVID-19 patients and whether it will continue after the pandemic. He explains the physiology behind prone positioning and how it improves oxygenation. He mentions the PERCEIVA study, which showed that prone positioning reduced mortality rates in patients with severe ARDS. Before COVID-19, proning was not widely utilized due to a lack of knowledge, trained staff, and protocols. However, during the pandemic, proning rates increased significantly. Amador-Castaneda argues that proning should continue after the pandemic, as it has shown benefits in ARDS patients. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining proning protocols and having trained staff.
