December 19 I was admitted with Covid pneumonia as well as sepsis. This video save my life. I didn’t wait for anybody to prone me I did it on my own and I went from 90 L per minute to 3 L per minute in 12 days. I’m home now on supplemental oxygen as my lungs get stronger but I won.

I am a practicing neonatologist with almost 40 years of experience at the bedside. It is refreshing to see the adult critical care world take a page out of our playbook as we have been "proning" patients for decades. The lessons of improving V/Q matching have been well established in the literature. The only difference between your patients and mine is that we do not an army of care givers to turn our patients. Greetings from Rapid City, SD.

2/3 of the total volume of the lungs are in the back, and that's another reason to proning the pacient with ARDS....EXCELLENT EXPLANATIONS!!! BRAVO!!!

This is how my mom is being treated in the ICU. I just wish I could hug her one more time.

This is the kind of information that should be playing on repeat at Fox and other Viacom outlets. Too bad it will not see the mainstream light of day

These videos are WONDERFUL!!!! I just wish you were still doing videos!! THEY ARE SERIOUSLY some of the best ICU grade videos on Youtube! We need as many of these types of videos on YouTube that we can get!

Pounding on the patients back will help move the mucus down so it can be coughed out. I think this is a key factor to making proning effective.

Thanks God, as a muslim, we take proning position every praying...Minimally 34 times in a day take proning position.

Thanks so much. I'm sitting in the ICU with covid right now wondering if my doctor is once again full of crap with this proning treatment. After your great explanation, I will try it. Thanks again.

I've been sick with Covid/side effects for a month now. O2 was bouncing from 90-97 today. Laid on my stomach with a pillow after seeing this 96 97 stable.

Currently day 12 covid infection. While I’m managing at home, I’m very SOBOE although my Sats are still above 90. So trying proning. As suggested by my mum

Thankful for your videos, I have been watching them since I was back in nursing school.

AlhamduLILLAH WHO ME MADE ME A MUSLIM AND MADE ME PRATICE THIS POSITION 68 times and more in SALAT whether i am healthy or not before 1440 years ago.

Is this useful prior to ARDs or before Pneumonia?

Such as when a person hasnt yet reached the point to go to the hospital but still has some fevers or phlegm or minor symptoms?

[kavitapardeshi]

[mariespi]

Does it help to prone patients who have acidosis...high carbon dioxide levels?

[TheAjaypavi]

Why don't we prone every patient on a ventilatory support?
