Background: Awake proning in spontaneously breathing patients with hypoxemic acute respiratory failure was applied during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic to improve oxygenation while avoiding tracheal intubation. An updated systematic review and meta-analysis on the topic was published. Methods: The Clinical practice committee (CPC) of the Scandinavian Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (SSAI) assessed the clinical practice guideline “Awake proning in patients with COVID-19-related hypoxemic acute respiratory failure: A rapid practice guideline” for possible endorsement. The Appraisal of Guidelines for REsearch and Evaluation (AGREE) II tool was used. Results: Four out of six SSAI CPC members completed the appraisal. The individual domain totals were: Scope and Purpose 90%; Stakeholder Involvement 89%; Rigour of Development 74%; Clarity of Presentation 85%; Applicability 75%; Editorial Independence 98%; Overall Assessment 79%. Conclusion: The SSAI CPC endorses the clinical practice guideline “Awake proning in patients with COVID-19-related hypoxemic acute respiratory failure: A rapid practice guideline”. This guideline serves as a useful decision aid for clinicians caring for critically ill patients with COVID-19-related acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and can be used to provide guidance on use of prone positioning in this group of patients.
