1 Prone Positioning in Spontaneously Breathing Nonintubated Covid-19 Patient: a Pilot Study (ProCov)

The prone position consists of placing the patient on his or her stomach with the head on the side, during sessions lasting several hours a day and could help spontaneous ventilate the patient.

NCT04344106 Coronavirus Infection Oxygen Deficiency Procedure: Prone positioning
MeSH:Coronavirus Infections Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Hypoxia
HPO:Hypoxemia

Primary Outcomes

Description: PaO2 improvement of more than 20% after one hour in prone position in spontaneously breathing non intubated COVID-19 patients.

Measure: Proportion of "responder" patients to prone position

Time: 1 hour

Secondary Outcomes

Description: PaO2 improvement of more than 20% at 6 to 12 hours from return to supine position.

Measure: proportion of "persistent responders" patients after prone position

Time: 1 day

Description: PaO2 at 1 hour from the start of prone position and at 6 to 12 hours afterreturn to supine position.

Measure: Evolution of PaO2

Time: 1 day

Description: Look for an association between the time spent in Prone positione and persistent responder or not;

Measure: Duration of prone positioning and PaO2 evolution

Time: 2 days

Description: proportion of patients improving their arterial saturation within 1 hour of Prone Position

Measure: Evolution of Spo2

Time: 1 hour

Description: evolution of the EVA scores for dyspnea at 1 hour from the start of the Prone Position and at 6 hours after the end of the Prone Position

Measure: EVA Dyspnea

Time: 1 day

Description: proportion of patients intolerant to prone position (Prone Position <1h);

Measure: Intolerance to prone positioning

Time: 1 day

Description: proportion of patients who can maintain prone position for more than 3 h.

Measure: Tolerance to prone positioning

Time: 1 day

2 The Effect of Prone Positioning on Lung Aeration and Ventilation-perfusion Matching in Mechanically Ventilated Patients With Coronavirus Disease Related Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

The consensus therapeutic strategy implies that COVID patients with acute lung injury due to coronavirus are routinely placed in prone position in an attempt to improve oxygenation by increasing ventilation homogeneity. The purpose of the study is quantify with the electrical impedance tomography (EIT) the changes in the ventilation and aeration in the dorsal regions of the lung when the patient is placed in prone position.

NCT04359407 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Electric Impedance Prone Positioning Other: Prone positioning
MeSH:Coronavirus Infections Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Syndrome

Primary Outcomes

Description: Change in the ratio of tidal electrical impedance variation in the dorsal and total lung areas

Measure: Tidal electrical Impedance

Time: One hour before turning to prone or supine positioning

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Changes in intrapulmonary shunt fraction

Measure: Intrapulmonary shunt

Time: One hour before turning to prone or supine positioning

Description: Changes in the phase three slope of the volumetric capnogram

Measure: Volumetric capnography

Time: One hour before turning to prone or supine positioning
