Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
In the COVID-19 healthcare crisis, one possible treatment therapy that has generated the most discussion is that of proning, or the position in which the patient lays face down as opposed to face up for a period of time. As the pandemic continues, this method has been more widely adopted to increase oxygen saturation in patients in respiratory distress. While proning research is both ongoing and extensive in the ICU population of COVID-19 patients, minimal research has been conducted with acute care patients. The researchers aim to address this gap with this study. The researchers used a systematic approach to educate patients and staff about patient self-proning, implementing self-proning every 2 hours, and monitoring escalation of oxygen levels, as well as length of stay in the acute care unit. The researchers hypothesized an improvement in oxygen saturation levels as evidenced by no escalation of respiratory care (i.e. higher levels of oxygen needed, transfer to higher level of care), resulting in shorter lengths of stay for the intervention population.
