SCCM Resource Library-Prone Positioning in Severe ARDS due to COVID-19

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Ana Suarez discusses a study on early versus late proning in severe ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) patients with COVID-19. The study was conducted using existing data from the ACA corporate database, including 1,541 patients. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality in the hospital, and secondary outcomes included age and ventilator ICU length of stay. The results showed that early proning, within 16 hours of mechanical ventilation, was associated with a lower mortality rate compared to late proning. The study suggests that early proning may improve outcomes for severe ARDS patients with COVID-19. Further research is needed to explore the benefits in specific patient populations.
