On the basis of three representative cases, it is possible to propose the following hypotheses: (i) how patients are positioned has a strong influence on their oxygen saturation levels; (ii) saturation-optimalized positions are patient-specific; (iii) prone positions require ergonomic devices; and (iv) saturation-optimalized positions should aim to place the most affected part(s) of the lung(s) on top. J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f 3 In non-intensive care unit (ICU) wards, the management of patients with COVID-19, the infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), consists mainly of supplying oxygen to prevent desaturation and respiratory exhaustion. Prone positioning improves oxygenation in spontaneously breathing nonintubated patients with hypoxemic acute respiratory failure: A retrospective study	./cache/cord-289168-h27tkdal.txt	./txt/cord-289168-h27tkdal.txt
