Özet: COVID-19 is highly contagious and has high mortality and morbidity. One of the aerosol generating procedure during management of SARS-CoV-2 patients is cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). During CPR, it is essential to provide return of spontanous circulation without compromising the safety of healthcare workers and chest compressions are provided in supine position traditionally. Prone position is used during surgery for easy access and in ARDS patients for better oxygenation. Despite increasing usage of it, healthcare workers may not have enough information about prone CPR.
