The aim of this observational study is to learn the effects of prone position duration on patient outcomes in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to Coronavirus Disease - 2019 (COVID-19). The main question it aims to answer is: Does the length of prone position duration affect gas exchange in patients with severe ARDS and is there a difference between genders in this regard? The differences in gas exchange between those who have been in prone position for 16-24 hours and those who have been in prone position for 24-36 hours as part of severe ARDS treatment will be examined.

Calculation of PaO2/FiO2 ratio during short and long prone periods
Timeframe: At each prone session, calculation will be started one hour before the pronation and finished one hour after returning supine.
