Proning in COVID-19 Patients

Proning in COVID-19 patients involves placing them on their stomachs rather than their backs. This position helps improve oxygen levels by better opening the lungs and allowing more air to reach the parts of the lungs that may be compressed or inflamed. It can reduce the need for ventilators and support breathing in severe cases. Proning is usually done under medical supervision and for specific periods to optimize lung function and recovery, making it a valuable non-invasive strategy in managing severe COVID-19 respiratory symptoms.
