The use of prone position ventilation in Danish patients with COVID-19-induced severe acute respiratory distress syndrome treated with veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: A nationwide cohort study with focus on pulmonary effects.

Eighty percent of patients responded positively during a PPV session, but this was not associated with overall pulmonary improvement. On a single patient level, responses were heterogenous and only 45% of sessions resulted in clinical improvement. Response in dynamic compliance was associated with starting values of compliance.
