Beneficial Effect of Prone Positioning During Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Coronavirus Disease 2019.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The study investigated the impact of prone positioning during venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support for coronavirus disease 2019 acute respiratory failure on the patient outcome.

Design

An observational study of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation patients. We used a multistate survival model to compare the outcomes of patients treated with or without prone positioning during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, which incorporates the dynamic nature of prone positioning and adjusts for potential confounders.

Setting

Seventy-two international institutions participating in the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Critical Care Consortium international registry.

Patients

Coronavirus disease 2019 patients who were supported by venovenous
