Brief Summary

The proposed randomized controlled trial aims at comparing the application of the prone position in spontaneously breathing patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure from any cause versus standard treatment on the rate of invasive mechanical ventilation or all-cause of mortality. The secondary endpoints will include time to tracheal intubation and effects of awake proning on the oxygenation parameters, dyspnea sensation, complications, and tolerance. Other endpoints are ventilation free-days at 28 days, duration of invasive ventilation, length of ICU and hospital stay, ICU and hospital mortality, and 28, 60, and 90-day mortality.

Detailed Description

The investigators intend to recruit acute hypoxemic respiratory failure patients with a respiratory rate of more than 25 breaths per minute, SpO2 \< 94% and FiO2 of at least 40% or more by either Venturi facemask, HFNC, or NIV/CPAP and, absence of decompensated respiratory acidosis during two years. Currently, the investigators expect about 35 centers to participate in the trial.

Demographic data and clinical characteristics on screened patients, regardless of enrolment criteria match, will be recorded (registry). The investigators will randomize 650 patients admitted to the participating centers' intensive care units and expect each participating center to randomize at least 25 patients who meet all inclusion criteria.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Composite endpoint comprising the rate of tracheal intubation or all-cause of mortality during the first fourteen days of enrolment.14 days
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Intubation among survivors at day 2424 days

Effect of prone position on the rate of intubation

Respiratory rate4 hours

Effects of prone position of respiratory rate

Duration of invasive mechanical ventilation90 days

Duration of invasive mechanical ventilation in those patients who required intubation

Effects on oxygenation defined by the SpO24 hours

Effects of prone position on oxygenation

Ventilation-free days (VFD) at 28 days from ICU admission,28 days

Ventilation-free days (VFD) at 28 days from ICU admission, defined as the number of days alive and free from IMV during the first 28 days from start of IMV

ICU-free days and hospital-free days90 days

ICU-free days and hospital-free days at day 90

Days under the oxygen support device28 days

Days under the oxygen support device (HFNC, NIV, non-rebreather mask, Venturi mask) The VAS is a straight horizontal line of fixed length. The ends are defined as the extreme limits of the parameter to be measured (symptom,pain,health) orientated from the left (worst) to the right (best).

Dyspnea4 hours

Effects of prone position on dyspnea, defined according modified Borg dyspnea scale.

This is a scale rates the difficulty of breathing. It starts at number 0 where dyspnea is causing no difficulty at all and progresses through to number 10 where dyspnea is maximal.

Time to tracheal intubation14 days

Effects of prone position on timing for tracheal intubation

Mortality28 and 90 days

Mortality at day 28 and day 90

Mortality at day 1414 days

Effect of prone position on mortality

Rate of complications related to prone position4 hours

Effects of prone position on adverse effects such Oxygen desaturations (SpO2 \<90%)

* Episodes of hemodynamic instability (BPsys \< 90mmHg or BPsys drop \> 10mmHg if BPsys \< 90 before the maneuver)

* Need of orotracheal intubation

* Cardiac arrest

* Displacement of the non-invasive respiratory support device

* Removal of central venous line, if documented

* Displacement of an arterial line, if documented

* Displacement of a urinary catheter, if documented
