Evaluation of the Effect of Prone Position in Intubated and Non-intubated Covid 19 Patients

Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of prone position (PP) applied to intubated, and non-intubated patients followed up with COVID-19 in the intensive care unit (ICU). Method: 108 COVID-19 patients followed in a single ICU were included in the study. PP was applied to the patients. The effect of PP on outcome parameters such as oxygenation, development of complications, length of hospital stay and mortality was evaluated. Results: Baseline PaO2:FiO2 ratio significantly increased after PP was applied to the intubated group on the 1st day, and the increase continued after the supine position (p<0.01). In the non-intubated group, the baseline PaO2:FiO2 ratio increased significantly on the 1st day, but the increase did not continue after the supine position (p>0.05). After the positioning on the 3rd day, when the intubated group was placed in the supine position after PP, there was an increase in the PaO2:FiO2 ratio, and this increase was statistically significant (p<0.001); however, the increase in the non-intubated group was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Conclusions: PP improved oxygenation in the intubated group but was ineffective in reducing the length of hospital stay, complication, and mortality rates. Besides, in the non-intubated group, it is an effective method that improves oxygenation, delays intubation, and reduces complication development and mortality rates.
