Answer:
Prone positioning improves ventilation, keeps alveolar units
open and breathing easy.
Proning is required only when the patient feels difficulty in
breathing and the SpO2 decreases below 94 (less than 94).
Regular monitoring of SpO2, along with other signs like
temperature, blood pressure and blood sugar, is important
during home isolation.
Missing out on hypoxia (compromised Oxygen circulation)
may lead to worsening of complications.
Timely proning and maintaining good ventilation could save
many lives.
