PRONING

May 7, 2021

As the second wave of Covid-19 sweeps through the country with deadly consequences, doctors across the state have started advocating proning exercises to improve oxygen levels in Covid positive patients — both in home isolation as well as in hospital.

About:

  • Proning a medically approved position — which is also being promoted by the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare — in which patients are made to lie on their abdomen to boost their oxygen levels.

  • Proning as an exercise is being advised to Covid patients in hospitals, so that they may not require additional oxygen support.
