Introduction: The prone position is a method to increase ventilation in the breathing process. This study will carry out a systematic review of previous journals that discuss the impact of the awake prone position on corona virus disease-19 patients which can reduce the risk of developing into a severe case.
Methods: A literature search was conducted in the last 5 years of research selected from several indexed electronic databases (Scopus, Science Direct, PubMed, Web of Science ). A total of 27 8 articles were obtained, and after being selected, 1 2 were found to be selected based on criteria and were a randomized control trial, Cohort Retrospective Study , case control.
Results: 8 articles explaining that the awake prone position is effective in improving hypoxic conditions marked by increased oxygen saturation in the blood of corona virus disease-19 patients with mild-moderate symptoms.
Conclusion: The awake prone position exercise is still the main choice for therapy in corona virus disease-19 patients with mild-moderate acute respiratory distress syndrome. Because it causes an increase in oxygenation and mechanical respiratory function in patients thereby reducing the risk of becoming a severe case.
