Core Tip	Optimizing and titrating the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients has been studied widely in the critical care world. However, the ARDS caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) possesses a challenge due to relatively preserved compliance in the early phase of this disease and questions the guidelines which have been long established. Proning, though tedious and cumbersome, which has been traditionally proved to improve oxygenation and survival benefits in ARDS patients has been extensively applied in COVID-19 patients. This article critically analyzes the role of PEEP and proning in COVID-19 patients.
