What is COVID CARP Protocol for Patient Positioning about?

The COVID Awake Repositioning/Proning Protocol (CARP) aims to avoid intubation and improve oxygen saturation levels in COVID-19 patients through regular timed position changes. The protocol involves having patients switch between lateral recumbent, sitting, and prone positions every 2 hours. If oxygen saturation does not improve after trying different positions, the patient will be placed in a Trendelenburg position. Positions will be changed and oxygen checked every 15 minutes if saturation levels decrease
