Brief Summary:
The aim of the COVI-PRONE Trial is to determine if early awake prone positioning in COVID-19 patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure; irrespective of the mode of oxygen delivery; reduces the need for invasive mechanical ventilation.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Intervention - Awake Proning

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.

Procedure: Awake Proning
The duration of proning will be a total of 8-10 hours with 1-2 hours break in supine position.

No Intervention: Control - Standard of Care

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.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Endotracheal intubation [ Time Frame: within 30 days of randomization ]
    Medical procedure in which a tube is placed into the windpipe (trachea) through the mouth.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Mortality [ Time Frame: 60 days ]
    Death

  2. Invasive mechanical ventilation free days [ Time Frame: censored at 30 Days ]
    Number of days not receiving mechanical ventilation

  3. Non-invasive ventilation free days [ Time Frame: censored 30 days ]
    Number of days not receiving non-invasive mechanical ventilation

  4. Days alive and outside ICU [ Time Frame: 60 Days ]
    Number of days alive and outside the ICU

  5. Days alive and outside of hospital [ Time Frame: 60 days ]
    Number of days alive and outside of hospital

  6. Complications from proning, [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
    Includes any of the following: accidental removal of intravenous access, hypotension, pressure injuries, or other.

  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
