[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re prone: I understood that we learned of the significant advantage of this position during the height of covid. My healthy, athletic, 25 yr old cousin was put to sleep, ventilated, max ox, paralytic, prone, for 40 days with covid (new delta, before he was eligible for the vax). During that time, they worked to pull back his ox and meds but twice when the tried to turn him from prone (to supine), he coded. Back to prone and he rallied (slightly). Point is, prone was said to have absolutely saved his life (among other things). [/quote]

Oh my goodness, this sounds horrible. May I ask how your cousin is doing now?[/quote]
thank you. he had lots of issues from the procedures (he had a trac put in, feeding tube, was jaundice from one med, hi A1C from another, etc.) About 18 months later and rehab, he's finally essentially healthy and gainfully employed.  Biggest lingering issue is paralysis in some fingers (big improvement from entire are paralysis -- a byproduct of being prone for so long). Overall, a walking miracle, according to his family.[/quote]
