ReviewAwake prone positioning in acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure: An international expert guidance.
Awake prone positioning (APP) of non-intubated patients with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure (AHRF) has been inconsistently adopted into routine care of patients with COVID-19, likely due to apparent conflicting evidence from recent trials. This short guideline aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for the use of APP in various clinical scenarios. ⋯ APP should be routinely implemented in patients with COVID-19 receiving advanced respiratory support.

Randomized Controlled TrialICU- and ventilator-free days with isoflurane or propofol as a primary sedative - A post- hoc analysis of a randomized controlled trial.
