Data management
We present a case series of proning in pregnancy complicated by ARDS
secondary to COVID-19. The Institutional Review Board at the University
of Maryland, Baltimore, approved the initiative (HP-00092582) under
COVID-19 and Proning In Pregnancy (COPING) study. We reviewed all the
patients’ charts with positive SARS-CoV-2 from March 2020 until July
2020 and identified those who developed ARDS. Subsequently, we
identified four patients that were proned during the antepartum period.
Their medical records were reviewed in detail by the Maternal-Fetal
Medicine and Medical Intensive Care Unit clinical team. Data were
manually abstracted and entered into the Research Electronic Data
Capture hosted at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. Each patient
consented to publication for the use of their information for research
and education purposes. Moreover, the patients had the opportunity to
read their case descriptions.
