Effect of Awake Prone Positioning on Patients With COVID-19 and Acute Respiratory Failure —Reply

In Reply In response to our recently published trial about the effect of awake prone positioning in patients with COVID-19 and acute respiratory failure, Dr Gershengorn states that to minimize bias we should have either mandated criteria for endotracheal intubation or used another primary outcome. Although we agree, in principle, that standardizing co-interventions and trial outcomes is important in situations when blinding is not possible, there were barriers to implementing this concept in our trial.
