Objective To study the effectiveness of different positions of ventilation in patients with severeCOVID-19. Methods 100 patients with severe COVID-19 from January 2020 to January 2021 were selected andrandomly divided into two groups by digital randomization. 50 patients in the control group were treated withsupine mechanical ventilation. 50 patients in the observation group were treated with mechanical ventilation inprone position. Results The parameters of oxygen partial pressure, oxygenation index and pulse oxygen saturationin the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). There was nosignificant difference in the overall mortality and respiratory system mortality between the observation group andthe control group (P>0.05). Conclusion The application of prone position ventilation in severe COVID-19 patientscan effectively improve the respiratory status of patients, improve the ventilation parameters of patients intreatment, and significantly reduce the mortality of patients, which is worthy of further promotion and use inclinical practice.
