SARS-CoV-2 virus causes a pneumonia that was identified through fever, dyspnea, and acute respiratory symptoms and named COVID-19. This disease exacerbates in a number of patients and causes pulmonary edema, multi-organ failure, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Prevalence of ARDS among COVID-19 patients has been reported to be up to 17%. Among the introduced treatment methods for management of ARDS patients, prone position can be used as an adjuvant therapy for improving ventilation in these patients. Here we reviewed the literature regarding the role of prone position in management of COVID-19 patients.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)引发的肺炎是通过发热、呼吸困难及急性呼吸道症状得以确认的,并被命名为新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)。该疾病在许多患者中会加重,导致肺水肿、多器官功能衰竭及急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)。据报道,COVID-19患者中ARDS的患病率高达17%。在已推出的ARDS患者治疗方法中,俯卧位可作为辅助治疗手段来改善这些患者的通气。在此,我们回顾了有关俯卧位在COVID-19患者治疗中作用的文献。
