Some intensive care unit doctors are championing a breathing technique to help increase oxygen flow for those infected with the new coronavirus that involves putting the patient on their belly.
The new coronavirus causes a respiratory infection that can make it difficult for people who have COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, to breathe.
This technique, which is a form of prone positioning, is aimed at helping people with symptoms increase the airflow to their lungs.
It was made popular by Dr. Sarfaraz Munshi at Queen’s Hospital in England, who posted a video of the technique on YouTube. As of Tuesday afternoon, the video has been viewed over two million times, even receiving praise from J.K.
