Abstract
In the population of confirmed COVID-19 positive patients on a telemetry unit, will proning every 2 hours result in a decreased length of stay for the intervention group (patients that prone) as opposed to the control group (patients that receive standard of care) over a period of 9 months (2021-2022)?
Notes
This particular research project - Self Proning in Acute Care COVID-19 Patients - has been presented at 3 separate conferences (including Magnet 2022) as well as recognized nationally by Commonspirit Health.
