Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the efects of prone positioning on the recruitment- to-inflation ratio in COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Detailed Description
High positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) level and prone positioning (PP) are recommended in patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in order to recruit lung and thus to improve oxygenation. Thus, high PEEP level and prone positioning will be more effective in patients with high potential for lung recruitment. Recently, the Recruitment-to-Inflation Ratio (R/I ratio) has been described and validated in patients with ARDS to estimate the potential for lung recruitment. In this regard, the R/I ration may be of interest to titrate PEEP level in patients with ARDS. This would be of particular interest in COVID-19 patients with ARDS, since different ARDS phenotypes with heterogeneous potential of lung recruitment have been described in these patients. However, the effects of prone positioning on R/I ratio have been scarcely described so far. Thus, the main goal of this study is to investigate the effects of prone positioning on the R/I ratio in COVID-19 patients with ARDS. The second goal of this study is to determine the effects of prone positioning on oxygenation and respiratory mechanics according to the R/I ratio.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Prone positioning-induced decrease in R/I ratio. [16-hour prone positioning session and 4-hour period after supine repositioning]
The R/I ratio will be calculated before (within 30 minutes before), during (2h, 8h and 16h) and after (2h and 4h after) a prone positioning session.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Proportion of patients "responders" to prone positioning session [16-hour prone positioning session and 4-hour period after supine repositioning]
The R/I ratio will be calculated before (within 30 minutes before), during (2h, 8h and 16h) and after (2h and 4h after) a prone positioning session.
- Clinical and respiratory predictors of prone positioning response in terms of oxygenation [16-hour prone positioning session and 4-hour period after supine repositioning]
TROC curves of clinical and biological variables for prediction of response to prone positioning
