COVID
Patients with or without prone position
|
Procedure: Prone position
Position of the patient in which he is face down, for an improvement in oxygenation |
- To analyze the relationship between the prone position and the need for orotracheal intubation. [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Relationship between awake prone position and the tracheal intubation
- The impact of the prone position on the partial oxygen saturation / inspired oxygen fraction index (SaO2 / FiO2). [ Time Frame: 3 months ]See the relationship between the awake prone position and the SaO2/FiO2 INDEX
- Determine the free hours without the need for orotracheal intubation of patients in the prone position. [ Time Frame: 3 months ]Determine the free hours without the need for orotracheal intubation of patients in the prone position.
