Presumably they were positioning the patient very precisely rather than standing there holding him/her for long periods of time.

Yeah, I bet they were. A friend of ours who was in the hospital for 3 weeks due to Covid (almost died) had to lie on his stomach; they said that that was better for his lungs rather than being on a ventilator. I guess in some cases, the lungs become too dependent on the ventilator and laying face down make the lungs work and get better faster.
