While prone positioning has been well established as a standard of care1<\/sup>, there are many considerations for completing the procedure of placing a patient in the prone position. According to a recent article by Callihan et.al (2021), \u201cfrom a health care clinician\u2019s standpoint, however, this positioning technique can be quite labor intensive<\/b> because several health-care clinicians and direct care aides are required to safely transition the patient from a supine position to a prone position, all the while maintaining hemodynamic and oxygenation stability.\u201d2<\/sup> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since there are many considerations for critically ill patients for clinicians, the benefits of automated prone positioning are worth reviewing. The table below highlights some advantages of automated prone positioning:<\/p>\n
