Influenza and Nursing Shortages on the Rise, Are You Prepared?

CDC’s first full Flu View of the 2022-2023 flu season shows that while flu activity is relatively low overall, there are early increases happening in most of the country. Flu activity is highest and increasing the most in the southeast and south-central parts of the United States. This increased activity could signal an early start to flu season. Most of the time flu activity peaks between December and February, although significant activity can last as late as May.

The Pronova-O₂  Automated Prone Therapy System was developed in response to the substantial research promoting the benefits of prone (face-down) positioning for critically ill patients with respiratory distress. We developed the Pronova-O₂™ Automated Prone Therapy System to address the growing need for a safer and simpler alternative to the labor-intensive manual repositioning of these patients by healthcare staff. The Pronova-O₂ provides three therapies: prone therapy, prone therapy with continuous lateral rotation, and supine rotational therapy. Designed with input from critical care nurses with years of successful experience in prone positioning, this system provides an effective and efficient way for clinicians to move patients into the prone position and to maintain their safety and comfort by easily rotating their position from side to side as needed.

At Turn Medical, we recognize that the current nursing shortage, rising hospitalizations and higher acuity patients will put increased stress on our healthcare systems and especially bedside clinicians. We have a team ready to help you manage your most critically ill patients.  Call us today to set up competency training on the Pronova-O₂  Automated Prone Therapy System.
