COVI-PRONE: Awake prone positioning did not reduce endotracheal intubation vs. usual care

SAN FRANCISCO — Awake prone positioning did not reduce endotracheal intubation at 30 days compared with usual care in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure from COVID-19, according to results of the COVI-PRONE trial.
At 30 days, 34.1% of patients randomly assigned to awake prone positioning were intubated compared with 40.5% of patients assigned usual care without prone positioning (HR = 0.81; 95% CI, 0.59-1.12; P = .2), Waleed Alhazzani, MD, MSc, associate professor in the department of medicine at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, said during a presentation
