What is proning?
Proning is the process of turning a patient with precise, safe motions, from their back onto their abdomen (stomach), so the individual is lying face down. Proning is a medically accepted position to improves breathing comfort and oxygenation. It is extremely beneficial in COVID-19 patients with compromised breathing comfort, especially during home isolation.
Why is prone lying important?
Prone positioning improves ventilation, keeps alveolar units open and breathing easy.
Proning is required only when the patient feels difficulty in breathing and the SpO2 decreases below 94 (less than 94).
Regular monitoring of SpO2, along with other signs like temperature, blood pressure and blood sugar, is important during home isolation.
Missing out on hypoxia (compromised Oxygen circulation) may lead to worsening of complications.
Timely proning and maintaining good ventilation could save many lives.
Positioning of pillow:
One pillow below the neck
One or two pillows below the chest through upper thighs
Two pillows below the shins
How to self prone?
For self-proning, you will need 4-5 pillows. You will be required to alterate lying position regularly and it is best is to not spend more than 30 minutes in each position.
For demonstration refer to the video in the link.
Cautions while proning
Avoid proning for an hour after meals
Maintain proning for only as much time as easily tolerable
One may prone for up to 16 hours a day, in multiple cycles, as felt comfortable
Pillows may be adjusted slightly to alter pressure areas and for comfort
Keep a track of any pressure sores or injuries, especially around bony prominences
Proning should be avoided in pregnancy, Deep venous thrombosis (Treated in less than 48 hours), major cardiac conditions and patients with unstable spine, femur, or pelvic fractures
