Summary

With this research, we are aiming at finding out the effectiveness of prone positioning in this region population affected by moderate pneumonia due to covid 19 infection so that the hospital staff and doctors may be encouraged with facts and data to use such an easy maneuver to stabilize patient's oxygen saturation as we believe that prone positioning does have a protective effect against severe disease and has an effect on reducing mortality if patients are encouraged for prone positioning with proper technique and for suitable time duration as has been observed in the clinical practice in the covid wards. Therefore, we want to assess the effects of 8 hours per day prone positioning the patients with confirmed covid pneumonia admitted in the covid wards.
