    Wake prono and high flow cannula in patients with acute respiratory failure covid-19 in a Lima Hospital, 2021

    COVID-19 is caused by the new coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2. Early management of the disease, when its progression was not yet known, involved implementing emergency strategies for respiratory rescue of these patients, such as Prone Vigil, which is an awake prone position that facilitates better gas redistribution at the pulmonary level, particularly oxygen, as well as the use of high-flow nasal cannula, a device for oxygen therapy that uses high flows of humidified air to improve oxygenation in hypoxemic respiratory failure. This disease showed its worst form, with mortality rates exceeding 60% among patients admitted to critical units who were on mechanical ventilation. Therefore, the hypothesis of this project aims to investigate the relationship between Prone Vigil and high-flow nasal cannula in patients with acute respiratory failure due to COVID-19 at a hospital in Lima, 2021.
