No major complications such as death, severe respiratory compromise, or hemodynamic disease were reported. Ten studies reported the following secondary adverse events related to awake prone positioning: skin breakdown (1%-6% of patients), pain (12%-42%), discomfort (35%-43%), vomiting (2%-7%), intolerance (3%-47%), and vascular catheter dislodgment (5%). The duration of awake prone positioning sessions varied widely (0.3-19 hours). Seven studies reported that nurses helped patients during prone positioning maneuvers, including monitoring and surveillance, and 3 studies reported patients placing themselves in the prone position. In 6 studies light or moderate sedation was employed in the procedures.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Awake prone positioning was not related to cardiorespiratory consequences but was associated with pain, intolerance, discomfort, and patients\u2019 refusal. Patients should receive education regarding awake prone positioning to improve their acceptance.
