First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 11, 2026 · Updated 33 times

Summary

This completed study looked at 60 adults with severe breathing failure (ARDS), including from COVID-19, to understand why lying face-down (prone positioning) improves oxygen levels. Researchers used lung ultrasound to measure lung health before and after prone sessions. The goal was to find differences between those who respond well and those who do not, which could help personalize care.
