Abstract | Continuously rising numbers of obese critical care patients pose many challenges to the healthcare workers, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Among them, proning may be one of the most labour-intensive tasks. Prone positioning is performed manually in hospitals where mechanical lifting aids are unavailable; however, the exact method of manual proning is not explicitly described in the literature. Here, we present a case of a morbidly obese patient with COVID-19 pneumonitis in the intensive care unit with a step-by-step guide of the manual proning technique. Our approach is simple and feasible, as only readily available tools, such as bed sheets and friction-reducing sheets, are used. |
