Background
Prone positioning may improve oxygenation in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and was widely adopted in COVID‐19 patients. However, the magnitude and timing of its peak oxygenation effect remain uncertain with the optimum dosage unknown. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the magnitude of the peak effect of prone positioning on the PaO2:FiO2 ratio during prone and secondly, the time...
