Schematic presentation of the local mechanical ventilation guideline; mechanical ventilation in the prone position is used when the level of PEEP is >15 cmH2O, aiming for PaO2/FiO2 >125 mmHg (below the dotted line); prone position is continued for 6–8 h, and is repeated until PaO2/FiO2 stays well above 125 mmHg; in addition, if PaO2/FiO2 remains <125 mmHg in prone position, the level of PEEP is further increased and inversed ratio ventilation is used
