Guidance and Patient Instructions for Proning and Repositioning of Awake, Non‐Intubated COVID‐19 Patients	2020-06-29		.txt	text/plain	963	62	43	Literature and experience from healthcare teams in the midst of the pandemic suggest that any COVID‐19 patients with respiratory compromise severe enough to warrant admission should be considered for proning. Prior studies on proning awake, non-intubated patients with hypoxemic acute respiratory failure, 1,2 as well as evolving study of similar COVID-19 patients, [3] [4] [5] [6] coupled with experience and dramatic anecdotal evidence from the COVID-19 pandemic, suggest the importance of proning all such patients with COVID-19 to improve oxygenation and reduce respiratory effort. Literature and experience from healthcare teams in the midst of the pandemic suggest that any COVID-19 patients with respiratory compromise severe enough to warrant admission should be considered for proning. All rights reserved Care Society Guidance for Prone Positioning of the Conscious COVID-19 Patient 7 includes the following absolute contraindications: acute respiratory distress (requiring higher level intervention e.g. immediate need for intubation), hemodynamic instability, agitation or altered mental status, unstable spine, thoracic injury, or recent abdominal surgery.	./cache/cord-279732-cea0nt8z.txt	./txt/cord-279732-cea0nt8z.txt
