Article Synopsis
- - A study evaluated the effectiveness of different non-invasive respiratory support methods (COT, NIV, HFNO, and NIV + HFNO) in reducing the need for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) for COVID-19 patients according to illness severity, which was found to significantly influence patient outcomes.
- - Conducted from March 2020 to July 2021, the cohort study involved 958 eligible ICU patients with COVID-19, focusing on treatment methods and their corresponding survival rates and lengths of stay in hospitals and ICUs.
- - Results indicated varying success rates, with NIV showing a 26.1% rate of requiring IMV and HFNO corresponding with an impressive 83.9% survival rate;
