About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Corona Virus Infection

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Adults ≥ 18 years of age.
  2. Suspected or confirmed COVID-19. Defined as: a positive PCR for SARS CoV-2 or pending PCR results for patients that are suspected to have COVID-19.
  3. Hypoxemia on room air (SPO2<90%), and oxygen requirement ≥ 0.4 FiO2 (i.e. ≥ 40% oxygen).
  4. Bilateral or unilateral chest infiltrates on x-ray as interpreted by the treating team.
  5. Admitted to the ICU or an acute care bed where hemodynamic and respiratory monitoring is feasible.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Immediate need for intubation as determined by the treating team.
  2. Decreased level of consciousness (Glasgow Coma Scale score <10), or significant cognitive impairment hat may interfere with compliance (delirium, dementia)
  3. Contraindication to proning including, but not limited to any of the following:

    Open chest or abdomen, abdominal surgery (i.e. laparotomy) within the 4 days, Unstable spine, facial, cervical, femur, or pelvic fractures. Limited neck mobility or inability to lie prone comfortably Skeletal deformities that interfere with proning. Complete bowel obstruction. Active upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Patient is unlikely/unable to prone, or to be compliant as indicated by the treating team.

  4. Body mass index > 40 kg/m2
  5. Pregnancy - third trimester.
  6. Patient/substitute decision maker or caring physician's refusal to enroll in the study.
  7. Patients with hemodynamic instability and moderate to high dose of vasopressors (norepinephrine dose ≥ 0.15 mcg/kg/min)
  8. Intubation is not within patient's goals of care
  9. Patient received awake proning session for > 1 day prior to randomization
  10. Previous intubation within the same hospital admission

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

No Intervention

Arm Label

Intervention - Awake Proning

Control - Standard of Care

Arm Description

The oxygen mask or NIPPV or HFNC will be initiated at the treating team's discretion. The patient will be observed for 15 minutes to ensure that: SPO2 > 90% and the patient is tolerating oxygen mask or NIPPV or HFNC treatment. Once the patient achieves the above parameters within 15 minutes of initiating oxygen therapy through any modality, the healthcare team will start awake proning.

The patient will receive usual care without proning at the discretion of the treating team. The oxygen mask or NIPPV or HFNC will be initiated, the choice of starting oxygen mask versus NIPPV versus HFNC will be up to the treating team, the patient will be observed for 15 minutes to ensure that: SPO2 > 90% and the patient is tolerating NIPPV or HFNC treatment.
