Summary

The goal of this prospective observational study is to estimate the prevalence of brachial plexus injury after prone positioning in patients with ARDS and to evaluate the safety of swimmer position. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Could arm positioning during pronation play a role in the development of any nerve injury at the brachial plexus level? * Is swimmer position safe when adopted during prone positioning? Participants will be studied at selective time points using EMG assessment.
