Conscious prone positioning during non-invasive ventilation in COVID-19 patients: experience from a single centre	2020-07-31		.txt	text/plain	3765	182	43	In our cohort of 20 COVID-19 patients with moderate acute hypoxic respiratory failure, prone positioning with non-invasive ventilation resulted in improved oxygenation. Here we build on this literature offering an examination of changes in oxygenation, as measured by PaO 2 /FiO 2 , across multiple episodes of prone positioning in conscious patients, with moderate to severe hypoxia, undergoing non-invasive ventilation following admission to the intensive care unit for advanced respiratory support. Although there is only limited data available on the effectiveness of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in COVID-19, early provision of NIV in moderate to severe acute hypoxic respiratory failure is associated with reduced ICU mortality and intubation rate 12 . This is a retrospective report on a subgroup of 20 patients with severe COVID-19 who were able to self-prone while receiving non-invasive ventilation in the ICU, among a grand total of 81 patients admitted to the ICU during the study period.The primary outcome reported by the authors is change in PaO2/FiO2 ratio while in prone position.	./cache/cord-335078-z7k59k8o.txt	./txt/cord-335078-z7k59k8o.txt
