| Popis: | Little is known about the impact of proning on oxygenation and ventilatory efficiency on patients with severe Covid-19. In this retrospective observational study we calculated Pa/FiO2 ratio (P/F) as a marker of oxygenation and dead space fraction (Vd/Vt) to assess ventilation. 12 patients who were proned twice or more were included. There was a significant improvement in P/F ratio when prone (110.18 ± 28.11) compared to supine (88.95 ± 19.34) (p 0.05). Vd/Vt as a function of time displayed a positive linear correlation in those who did not survive (n = 9) (Rs = 0.48, p |
