Assessment of interventions and clinical outcomes in mechanically ventilated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. We defined an oxygenation response to LRMs as an increase in the PaO2/FiO2 ratio by at least 20% in the 2–4 hours after the maneuver. Likewise, we defined an oxygenation response to prone positioning as an increase in the PaO2/FiO2 ratio by at least 20% or at least 20 mm Hg during the first prone position session. Here, we report on the first LRM or the first prone position session for each included patient only. COVID-19 = coronavirus disease; LRMs = lung recruitment maneuvers; NS = not significant; PEEP = positive end-expiratory pressure.
