Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare repeated positioning with 4h continuous prone positioning in terms of self-reported dyspnea in a 10- point visual analogue scaleTimepoint: 4hour since randomization | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To compare both the techniques in terms of oxygenation status (room air oxyhemoglobin saturation or PaO2/FiO2 ratio in arterial blood gas) 2. To compare the requirement of rescue therapy (high flow nasal oxygen) in both the groups. 3. To compare hemodynamic variables in both the groups. 4. To compare the requirement of mechanical ventilation within 24h in both the groups. 5. To compare the change in respiratory rate in both the groups. Timepoint: 4 hour since randomization | — |
