ABSTRACT

La pronación consciente es una de las herramientas utilizadas para reducir los ingresos a terapia intensiva (UTI) en la neumonía por COVID-19 con hipoxemia. Algunos pacientes no toleran estar en posición prono (intolerantes) y algunos que lo toleran no responden mejorando la saturación o su PO2. Presentamos una serie de 34 pacientes sometidos a pronación consciente; fueron tolerantes 18 (52,9%). Nueve pacientes pasaron a UTI (26,4%): 7 intolerantes (43,7%) y 2 tolerantes (11,1%) (p=0.038). No hallamos diferencias en la necesidad de ventilación mecánica y mortalidad entre tolerantes e intolerantes. De los 18 tolerantes se clasificó como respondedores a 10 pacientes (55,5%). No hubo diferencia estadísticamente significativa en los pases a UTI entre los respondedores y no respondedores. La pronación consciente es una herramienta factible en el paciente con neumonía por COVID-19 y nos permitió predecir el requerimiento de terapia intensiva entre aquellos intolerantes al método.


The prone positioning (PP) in awake patients is one of the tools to reduce the number of admissions to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in cases of Covid-19 hipoxemic pneumonia. Some patients do not tolerate PP (intolerants) and others that tolerate it do not respond with improvement of PO2 or oxygen saturation. We present here a series of 34 patients who underwent PP. Eighteen of them tolerated PP (52,9%). Nine patients (26,4%) were admitted to ICU: 7 who had not tolerated PP (43,7%) and 2 who had tolerated PP (11,1%) (p= 0.038). We did not find differences in the need for mechanical ventilation and mortality between patients who tolerated and who did not tolerate PP. From those 18 who tolerated PP, 10 were classified as responders (55,5%). We did not find any significant statistical differences for admission to ICU between responders and non-responders. PP in awake patients is a feasible tool in cases of COVID-19 Pneumonia, and it allowed us to predict the requirements of ICU between those who were not tolerant to the method
