We aren’t treating oxygen levels. Higher oxygen levels now that result in lower oxygen levels later might actually be a bad thing. I have no doubt that proning increases the readings we are getting on pulse ox monitors, sometimes pretty immediately. I’ve seen it, literally first hand, in a number of my patients. But I have no idea if it saves lives. Many of those same patients still got intubated and some died. Understanding impact on surrogate markers isn’t enough.
