Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com with another quick tip for families in intensive care.

So currently the COVID crisis is in full swing with families being locked out of intensive care all over the world because COVID-19 patients are locking up ICU beds, and while you’re watching this video, you might be one of those families being locked out of ICU.

Now, a lot of COVID-19 patients go into ARDS or lung failure while they’re in ICU, and while they’re battling this pandemic infection. So with ARDS, or lung failure, one therapy option is often prone therapy or proning.

Basically, what happens during proning therapy, patients get turned on their tummy to drain fluids off the lungs and enable the lungs to be better perfused, and then able a better oxygen perfusion to the lungs.

That is very draining and taxing on patients because imagine if you’re going to be turned on your tummy for at least 12 hours while you’re on a mechanical ventilator with a breathing tube in your mouth or in your throat. So that’s very taxing for a patient. They need lots of sedation. They need to be in an induced coma, and they often need to be paralyzed as well to tolerate such proning therapy.
