COVID-19 Early Prone Position Study Group
With the global epidemic of COVID-19, as of July 8, 2020,
12,025,348 people have been infected with 4.56% mortality [1]. Many COVID-19 patients died due to
severe hypoxia [2, 3]. It is particularly important to find a
simple and effective way for COVID-19 patients’ treatment. Recent studies
reported that prone position was used to treat non-intubated COVID-19 patients
and hypoxemic acute respiratory failure [4, 5]. However, the number of patients was
small, the follow-up was short, clinical outcomes were not assessed in their
study. In this study, we aimed to explore whether the early prone position can
effectively improve severe hypoxia, CT imaging performance and survival
prognosis of COVID-19 patients with severe hypoxia…
