Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has been shown to be effective in avoiding intubation and
improving survival in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (ARF) when …

OBJECTIVES: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to generate estimates of
mortality in patients with COVID-19 that required hospitalization, ICU admission, and organ …

Background The primary aim of our study was to investigate the association between

Abstract Background The benefit of Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) therapy in the setting of COVID-
19-related ARDS is obscure. We performed a multicenter retrospective study to evaluate the …

Background Awake prone positioning (APP) reduces the intubation rate in COVID-19
patients treated by high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC). However, the lung aeration response to …
