P59 Self-proning in COVID-19 patients on low-flow oxygen therapy. A cluster randomised controlled trial

P59 Figure 1ConclusionsSelf-prone positioning in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia requiring low-flow oxygen therapy resulted in a clinically meaningful reduction of oxygen flow, without reaching statistical significance Early interruption of the trial after the first wave most probably resulted in underpower of our study Self-prone positioning was easy to implement and well tolerated Given the rapid increase of cases during the COVID-19 pandemic, any simple intervention to limit the progression of hypoxemia and avoid transfers of patients to ICUs may be of benefit for the management of hospital resources
