Proning COVID-19 patients

[@michaeljohnson3132]

December 19 I was admitted with Covid pneumonia as well as sepsis. This video save my life. I didn’t wait for anybody to prone me I did it on my own and I went from 90 L per minute to 3 L per minute in 12 days. I’m home now on supplemental oxygen as my lungs get stronger but I won.

[@catarinacosta3334]

Our intuition always knows best! Our body has a way of guiding what's best for us. I tested positive for Covid on Jan 1st and it was mild except for chest pressure. I figured it was much easier to breathe while proning. And this I figured a few days before I discovered I was infected because I woke up 2 nights in a row with trouble breathing. Hope you get better soon!

[@kennethmartinez3685]

How long did you have Covid before it turned into pneumonia?

[@thefang69]

Well done brother 🔥🔥🔥

[@ronaldshiffman9120]

First of all, you were not on a ventilator. Much, much easier to prone on high flow oxygen. I always sleep on my belly. I would never say don't do it in the hospital.

Absolutely fantastic explanation of the benefits of proning. Kudos!

[@coribellanoche]

I am a practicing neonatologist with almost 40 years of experience at the bedside. It is refreshing to see the adult critical care world take a page out of our playbook as we have been "proning" patients for decades. The lessons of improving V/Q matching have been well established in the literature. The only difference between your patients and mine is that we do not an army of care givers to turn our patients. Greetings from Rapid City, SD.

[@ventilator98]

These videos are WONDERFUL!!!! I just wish you were still doing videos!! THEY ARE SERIOUSLY some of the best ICU grade videos on KZbin! We need as many of these types of videos on KZbin that we can get!

You can prone even when you are not in a ventilator. Self proning.

[@akbuilder7626]

Pounding on the patients back will help move the mucus down so it can be coughed out. I think this is a key factor to making proning effective.

[@rubeesgems]

Thanks so much. I'm sitting in the ICU with covid right now wondering if my doctor is once again full of crap with this proning treatment. After your great explanation, I will try it. Thanks again.

Thanks for sharing. I looking for a prone bed for recreational and preventative measures

[@ronaldshiffman9120]

I have 34 years of bedside ventilator experience. I've proned about 6 patients, but I cannot say proning helps. I will say it may help a little. Problems: 1) It is labor intensive for the staff to turn a patient face down. 1 or 2 skilled nurses can turn a patient 30 degrees every 2 hours. A prone, 180 degree turn requires a minimum of 4 people plus a respiratory therapist. 2) Proned patients are generally paralyzed and paralyzing patients increases mortality. 3) Unintended consequences are common in proning like extubation of ET - tube and nasogastric tube. 4) Lines running into the blood vessels are more difficult to manage and have a higher failure rate. Mortality rate in ARDS can be managed down to 25% in the right hands. I do not recommend proning and I do not think it is a significant helpful factor.

[@gyrosleep7711]

May I ask you a question? About the labor intensive part?

[@thomasjust2663]

Only 6 patients in 34 years? that renders the sample size pretty much useless statistically to prove or the null hypothesis that it does not work, no serious study would be peer approved by using only 6 patients

[@shelbyc6972]

The prone position saved my life when I was in itu.

[@taminorman1673]

It's certainly helped me. I have been proning since my diagnosis.

[@johnny6904]

My Dr.s and nurses would disagree. They all were adamant about the benefits of proning, having treated many covid patients

really... but discuss also the contraindications of proning a patient... cause this is now a trend in our icu treatment of covid-19 patients... sadly most of them are not benefiting to this in fact most of them deteriorating much faster (yes they have a secondary disease like HTN, DM and asthma ), in addition it's very difficult when they arrested... as a nurse u can't start CPR immediately cause of the Prone position.
