Prone Positioning Surge and Decline After COVID-19: Key... : Critical Care Medicine journals.lww.com/ccmjournal/… COVID-19 proved we can prone patients with severe ARDS reliably at scale. The post-pandemic decline proved we chose not to sustain it. Evidence didn’t disappear. @MayoPCCM

VentCoach was feasible in the ICU—no protocol-related adverse events or workflow disruptions. It was non-inferior to standard LPV, with signals for lower mechanical power (lung energy) and possibly less sedation. Next: larger trials. #CriticalCare #MechanicalVentilation #ARDS 💪
