Clinical Trial Summary

Background and objective: The ramifications of early lung protective measures and prone positioning on the ICU length of stay rates of participants admitted to the ICU with acute respiratory distress syndrome amid the COVID-19 pandemic constitute a pivotal examination. The study aims to identify the effect of early prone positioning on the length of stay, discharge rate, and number of tracheostomized patients in the ICU.


Clinical Trial Description

Background and objective: The ramifications of early lung protective measures and prone positioning on the ICU length of stay rates of participants admitted to the ICU with acute respiratory distress syndrome amid the COVID-19 pandemic constitute a pivotal examination. The study aims to identify the effect of early prone positioning on the length of stay, discharge rate, and number of tracheostomized patients in the ICU. Methodology: This retrospective study was conducted on critically ill patients needing mechanical ventilation with lung protective strategy and admitted to the Intensive Care Units of Al-Azhar University Hospitals between March 2020 to April 2022. All patients in the study were interpreted retrospectively by examining the patient's records. Group A (n:39) included patients who had been early placed in prone positions within 24 hours of intubation, and Group B (n:31) included patients who had not been placed in prone positions. All patients received a lung protective strategy for ARDS. In both groups, PaO2, PaCo2, PH, SpO2, and PaO2/FiO2 ratio were checked initially and later every 24 hours for 6 days. All patients were evaluated for the total days of both hospital and ICU length of stay, number of successful discharges to home from the hospital, and the total number of tracheostomized patients. ;
