A Questionnaire Survey on Cognition of Enteral Nutrition Implementation in Patients Requiring Mechanical Ventilation in Prone Position

Sponsor: Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University

Summary

Prone ventilation is an important treatment for respiratory failure with intractable hypoxia, and the Corona Virus Disease 2019(COVID-19 ) outbreak has further elevated the status of prone ventilation. Early enteral nutrition (EN) is also recognised as an important measure to improve the prognosis of critically ill patients. However, the administration of enteral nutrition during prone position is still quite controversial. In this paper, we analysed the tolerance and safety of enteral nutrition in the prone position by reviewing studies before and after the COVID-19 outbreak. Key strategies to improve the tolerability of enteral nutrition in the prone position are also summarised and discussed.
