HOLLY: On my count, one, two, three.

FEMALE SPEAKER: OK, is everything OK down there? On three, we're going to turn the patient towards the ventilator and we're going to hand off our hold.

HOLLY: Ready, one, two, three.

FEMALE SPEAKER: And then we're going to lift the patient up to the pillow on Holly's count.

HOLLY: All right. One, two, three.

Manual prone positioning

Mayo Clinic nurses demonstrate the process of manual prone positioning therapy for intubated patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and refractory hypoxemia. Manual prone positioning therapy is used in an attempt to improve oxygenation and reduce ventilator-associated lung injury in patients with severe ARDS.
