Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by new coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) is a major cause of poor prognosis in severe and critically ill patients, and does not respond well to conventional lung protection and open lung ventilation strategies. Prone ventilation is a treatment An important measure to improve hypoxemia, hypercapnia, and acute right heart failure by promoting lung recruitment. Prone position ventilation is also effective for patients with relatively mild disease, which can prevent the disease from progressing to severe and critically ill. At present, clinicians are still confused about COVID-19 in prone position ventilation, so it needs to be promoted in the clinic. .
